HKUST Bread Run 2024
Volunteers set out to collect surplus fresh bread from various bakeries to collection point

During the HKUST Bread Run organized by Feeding Hong Kong, eleven HKUST volunteers set out to collect surplus fresh bread from various bakeries across the city. The collected bread was delivered the next morning to Feeding Hong Kong's extensive charity network.

These donations benefited a variety of organizations, including homeless shelters, migrant worker centers, women's refuges, children's homes, and other nonprofit programs focused on providing food to those in need. This initiative not only helps reduce food waste but also plays a crucial role in supporting vulnerable individuals throughout Hong Kong, particularly those living in poverty who struggle to afford food. By participating in this event, volunteers contributed to a meaningful cause and made a positive impact on the lives of many people.
