A team of 11 students visited Feeding Hong Kong warehouse in Yau Tong. After a short warehouse tour led by Feeding Hong Kong staff, volunteers sorted and repacked donated food after inspecting their expiry dates. Food included juices, cup noodles, water, and snacks. Through this hands-on experience, students developed a better understanding of food waste and poverty, and how food banking and donations can help tackle these problems.

FHK staff took out two boxes and demonstrated the packing procedure with volunteers standing around her
