Crossroads Foundation is a Hong Kong-based non-profit organisation serving global need. The organization provides an intersection in the broken world, as suggested from the name ‘Crossroads’, to connect those who are in need with those who can provide help. They receive excellent goods from business and private donors, and re-distribute the goods to the needy in Hong Kong and around the world.

As a self-financed NGO ran mostly by volunteers, they need a considerable amount of human resources to assist in the distribution and daily operation. Therefore, our volunteers joined hands with a diverse team to support the organization's operations including sorting and packing the goods before re-distributing them to the needy. As the Government is asking them to vacate half the current site by the end of March, some volunteers assisted in heavy labor work.
