People Service Centre - Food Friend Action

Demand for food assistance has increased drastically in the wake of the pandemic. In 2020/21, the Swire Properties Community Caring Fund (CCF) sponsored the “Connection of Food and Love” initiative by the People Service Centre’s Food Friend Action. The project collected and packaged surplus or donated food to provide over 13,000 meals to 1,700 needy families, reducing food waste and relieving their financial burden. Community Ambassadors also participated in food packaging and distribution work, and partnered with tenants to donate 300 bottles of cooking oil to cheer up the needy families.

In 2022/23, CCF supported Food Friend Action’s “Share Food, Share Happiness” project, which regularly donated nutritious food packs to 300 SEN children who live in subdivided flats, and organised cooking and nutrition education workshops for grassroots parents, to reduce the food expenses of low-income families, as well as to improve the nutrition status and health of children in need.
