Feeding Hong Kong

Since we opened the doors of our Foodbank, we have supported 150 charity programs with a total of 13.9 million meals. Each of our charity partners is a registered Hong Kong charity with a focus on providing food support to those in need in their local community. Our particular focus is on small and medium sized NGOs. They include shelters for the homeless, migrant worker and women’s refuges, senior day centers, refugee and new immigrant support centers, children’s homes and other non-profit programs that provide food to the hungry.

The work benefits four key groups. Firstly, underprivileged individuals and families as direct beneficiaries receive high quality, nutritious food that they would not otherwise afford. Secondly, the charities in our network benefit from a regular, free delivery of food. This allows them to save money, serve more people and redirect saved resources to other poverty alleviation programs. Thirdly, the food companies benefit from our provision of a safe, sustainable way to redirect high quality food surplus to feed people in need. Finally, our work benefits the community as a whole, by making the best use, in the most ethical, ecological and sustainable way of excess food in the city and ensuring that good food is eaten rather than disposed of in landfill. Beyond these four groups, we offer the additional benefit of being the lowest cost and most efficient way to feed those in need in Hong Kong. For every HK$5 donated to us, we can help provide a meal to an individual in need.
