Every day, more than 3,000 tonnes of food waste are sent to landfills in Hong Kong, even as 1.65 million people live in poverty and struggle to afford nutritious meals. To help reduce food waste and alleviate hunger, Chamber members participated in a special Bread Run event in collaboration with Feeding Hong Kong on 8 November. 

Fifteen teams collected surplus fresh bread from bakeries just before closing time and brought it all to Feeding Hong Kong’s collection centre in Yau Tong. There, the food was classified and packed for next-day delivery to partner charities feeding the needy, including shelters for the homeless, refugee support centres, children’s homes and other non-profit organizations. Members also had the opportunity to tour the centre and its storage facilities. After the event, the Chamber donated HK$5,000 to support the organization’s work.

Feeding Hong Kong consists of a team of passionate people committed to reducing food waste and providing food to charities. Its operations are led by logistics professionals dedicated to delivering a high standard of service to partners.
