What Feeding Hong Kong does

Feeding Hong Kong Limited is a Hong Kong-registered Section 88 charity founded in 2011 that operates as the city's only Global Foodbanking Network-accredited food bank. The organization collects quality surplus food from more than 100 food companies — spanning manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and hospitality brands — and redistributes it to a network of over 160 registered frontline charities, including senior centres, crisis shelters, community kitchens, welfare centres, breakfast clubs, and after-school programmes. Its core technology is a physical logistics platform: over 11,500 square feet of temperature-controlled warehouse space across two Yau Tong facilities (with walk-in fridge and freezer capacity for ambient, chilled, and frozen food), a fleet of four trucks for collection and delivery, and a community volunteer network of more than 200 individuals per week.

Operationally, the organization runs several recurring programs: a daily food rescue and redistribution service, the Bread Run volunteer collection program, year-round food drives, the Charity Network referral system, and seasonal campaigns including Santa Sack (Christmas parcels), the Mooncake Donation Campaign (Mid-Autumn Festival), and the Dragon Drive (Dragon Boat Festival). It also publishes a Recipe Collection developed with professional chefs and nutritionists to help beneficiaries maximize use of redistributed ingredients.

The revenue model is donation-based and unit-priced for transparency: cash donations come from individuals, corporates, foundations, and community groups, with publicly disclosed tiers at HK$8 per meal, HK$100 for 10 meals, HK$120 for 15 meals, and HK$150 per festive food parcel; all donations above HK$100 are tax-deductible. The organization also receives in-kind donations of food and pro bono services from corporate partners. As of the most recent reported year, Feeding Hong Kong rescued 1,450+ tonnes of food and provided over 4 million meals, bringing cumulative meals distributed since founding to more than 12 million.
