Briefing Session: HKUST Bread Run 惜食．麵包收集活動 (2024)

Every day, while one million people live in poverty struggling to afford nutritious meals, 3,600 tonnes of food waste are sent to landfills in Hong Kong. In Bread Run, volunteers will visit bakeries right before its closing time to pick up surplus bread and bring them to the food bank at Yau Tong. All donations are distributed by the Feeding Hong Kong charity network the following morning to non-profit programs that provide food to those in need.

香港每天有超過3,300噸剩食送往堆填區，而同時多於100萬人生活在貧窮之中，為三餐溫飽掙扎。樂餉社致力減少食物浪費和對抗肌餓。你會於各區麵包店關店時收集剩餘麵包，並且運送至食物銀行作妥善分類及儲存，再由機構於翌日早上把食物轉送至慈善機構分發給有需要的人士，以解決饑餓問題，同時減少浪費。
