[This is a Community Service under Community GO]
In Hong Kong, thousands of tonnes of food waste is produced and disposed of at landfills every day. This is not only a burden to our environment but also a waste of a lot of resources. Join us to collect and redistribute edible surplus food from wet markets of Lei Muk Shue Estate, Tsuen Wan to the people in need.
香港每天產生數千噸的廚餘,當中還有很多食材可以食用,好多時未有處理就送到堆填區,十分可惜之餘還對環境造成負擔。現招募義工到荃灣梨木樹邨街市向合作商戶收集仍可安全食用的剩餘食物,經檢查處理後,重新分配予區內有需要的街坊。義工可親身感受食物浪費的問題,亦為減廢及資源重新分配出一分力。
