"Hello, grandma, we have some leftover bread today, would you like some?" The volunteer saw a familiar figure in the distance and knew it was the old lady who scavenged nearby. "Yes, thank you! You are so kind!"

Every day, a lot of leftover food is wasted, and you are the most important little helper, delivering still edible food to those in need. We collect leftover bread and meal boxes in different districts every week. Would you be willing to spend a little time to join us in saving food and helping others?

We sincerely invite you to register as a volunteer. Only when everyone contributes their own strength can our actions continue.
