Enough collected vegetables for many families

Together with the Hong Kong Federation of Women’s Centres, Friends of the Earth organized the food saving tour to collect unsold vegetables in the market. 12 HKUST volunteers helped transferring the 268.8 kg vegetables the team collected from the Po On Road Market in Cheung Sha Wan to the Service Centre, then they sorted and distributed them to families in need.
