Look at how much we collected!

A team of 87 students collected surplus fresh bread from Maxim's cake stores all across Hong Kong during the event organized by Feeding Hong Kong. Our team collected more than 1600 pieces of bread from 49 stores all around Hong Kong. In case you were wondering, the most that was collected from one store was close to 120 pieces!

The bread was delivered to 7 charities early next morning, including shelters for the homeless, migrant workers and women's refuges, senior day centers, refugee and new immigrant support centers, children's homes and other nonprofit programs that provide food for the hungry.

Great effort of and thank you, bread runners!
