Feeding Hong Kong

Our Mission

The mission is to fight hunger in Hong Kong and reduce the amount of quality food that is being sent to our city’s landfills. Providing a link between Hong Kong based companies with surplus food stocks and Hong Kong registered welfare organisations providing support to those in need in the city.

The Need

1 in 4 people in Hong Kong are living under the poverty line, 45% of seniors and 25% of children struggle to meet their basic nutrition needs. At the same time, 3,353 tonnes of food are sent to landfill every day and the existing three landfills in Hong Kong require extensions.

The Solution

Collecting surplus stock from food companies, sort and store it, and redistribute it to multiple charities across the city. This approach allows Feeding HK to make efficient use of the established distribution channels, and serve a broad and diverse group of people.

Our Impact

Since 2011, Feeding HK have worked with over 420 food companies. The delivery service extends across the city's 18 districts. Through the partnerships with the food industry, they have saved over 4,400 tonnes of good food from landfill and 8.3 million kg in C02 emissions.

Festival Food: Galloping into Chinese New Year with dignity, joy and a few good treats

At Feeding Hong Kong, they know that food and festivals belong together. That’s why the Festive Programme exists: to help charity partners go beyond daily relief and bring genuine seasonal cheer to the communities they serve.

This January, upon welcoming the Year of the Horse, and thanks to the generosity of Feeding Hong Kong’s donors, they distributed 4,000 special Lunar New Year parcels to vulnerable families and individuals, supported by 60 local charities. Each parcel provides the building blocks of 20 honest meals – rice, noodles, cooking oil, and more – giving recipients the strength to trot through the year ahead.

But they didn’t stop at the basics. Alongside these essentials, they added festive treats that truly harness the spirit of the season: cookies, cashews, and Hong Kong-style green bean paste. These are the tastes of celebration, the small luxuries that make this holiday feel whole.

For the charity partners, those extras mean everything. “Sometimes we receive food like luxury chocolate or Parma ham – items our beneficiaries could never afford otherwise. Getting food like this gives them dignity. They get a chance to try not just the basics that keep them alive, but a taste of pure enjoyment.”

This is what your support achieves: not just nourishment, but respect, surprise, and shared joy. Straight from the horse’s mouth: thank you for helping make this Year of the Horse one to remember.
