volunteers from china everbright limited (“cel”; stock code: 165.hk) supported food angel’s food rescue and food assistance program by taking part in preparing the “food angel meals” and served the meal boxes to the elderlies at lutheran social service centre.
food angel rescues more than 4,000 kg of surplus food every day. following a set of strict food safety protocols, the rescued food items are then prepared into nutritious hot meals and food packs in the central kitchens. food angel serves 6,000 free hot meals & food packs daily to people in need of food assistance and attempts to solve and stop food wasting problem in hong kong. a team of 18 volunteers from cel and china everbright group assisted in preparing and packing over 1,000 meal boxes in chai wan kitchen within 2 hours, and served the meal boxes to the elderlies at lutheran social service centre located in siu sai wan, spreading love and care to the needy in the community.
after the event, food angel arranged a food-tasting session for the volunteers. all the participants enjoyed this volunteer service very much. they appreciated the chance to experience the daily works of food rescue and food assistance program, and at the same time having a deeper understanding on the current food wasting problem, as well as helping to reduce food wasting at source and serve the people in need of food assistance.
cel is a corporation committed to corporate social responsibility. in the past few years, cel has organised a number of volunteer services including a visit to elderly home, special children care centre, sheltered workshop, participation in everbright project’s large-scale activity and “sowers action challenging”, as well as had the parent-child visiting program to lifeline express eye-train hospital in shandong and heilongjiang. all these activities received good response and support from cel staff. cel will organise similar activities in the future and hope that these volunteer services can provide opportunities for its staff to serve the community in leisure time.
