With reference to the rapid growth of food prices, Baptist Oi Kwan Social Service (BOKSS) has been providing inexpensive meals for low-income families to help ease the financial burden of underprivileged communities. Apart from food services, the organization has extended their service provision to underprivileged children. HKUST volunteers were recruited to provide tutorial classes and play interactive games with these children after meals in the canteen.
