Description
The Bread Runner program involves collecting surplus bread from bakeries across Hong Kong near closing time and delivering it to designated collection points. Volunteers select bakeries to visit, collect surplus bread, and transport it to the collection points. The program operates every Tuesday and Thursday from 7 pm to 10 pm, with shifts lasting one hour. Volunteers are encouraged to team up with friends and register for a minimum of three stores due to unpredictable surplus amounts.
Reasons to participate
Participating in the Bread Runner program allows you to directly contribute to reducing food waste by ensuring good quality bread is not discarded. It offers manageable and straightforward volunteer work, making it ideal for team-building activities.
