“Collecting surplus food not only can reduce food waste but can also help save our environment. Let’s feed people in need, not landfills.” said Alice Leung, team leader of the Land Registry’s volunteer team who participated in the “Collect Surplus Bread” in collaboration with Feeding Hong Kong on 23 March 2023.

Three teams of Bread Runners collected surplus bread from various bakeries located in Admiralty, Central and Kowloon Bay after the shops closed. The surplus bread were then delivered to the collection point and redistributed to those who were in need of food assistance in the following morning.

Ms Leung said, “Finding time to help the community after busy working hours is meaningful. The volunteer team is so glad that we could participate in this event, rescue surplus food and help those in need. ”
