HKUST Bread Run 惜食 • 麵包收集活動

Description

[This is a Community Service under Community GO]

Every day, while one million people live in poverty struggling to afford nutritious meals, 3,600 tonnes of food waste are sent to landfills in Hong Kong. Feeding Hong Kong helps save food from going to waste. In Bread Run, volunteers will collect surplus fresh bread from bakeries across Hong Kong and bring them to the food bank. All donations are distributed by the Feeding Hong Kong charity network the following morning to non-profit programs that provide food to those in need.

樂餉社是本地拯救剩食的食物銀行,現招募義工於各區麵包店關店時收集剩餘麵包,並且運送至食物銀行作妥善分類及儲存。機構將於翌日早上把食物轉送至慈善機構分配給有需要的人士,以解決饑餓問題,減少浪費食物。
