A Day with Food Angel at BPS Global to Reduce Food Waste

Our wealthy society creates an enormous amount of food waste every day whereas many struggle to meet basic nutritional needs. Therefore, “A Day with Food Angel” was organized on 20th January 2016 at BPS Global, who constantly cares about the society.. The staff from Food Angel first shared with us the food waste issue in Hong Kong, and then explained the ideas of Food Rescue and “Waste Not”. Our colleagues also got the chance to have a taste of the Food Angel Hot Meals prepared with surplus food and participated in the Eco-enzyme Workshop, which reminded them the importance of treasuring food.

Food Angel is a food rescue and food assistance program launched in 2011 with the mission of "WASTE NOT, HUNGER NOT." The program rescues edible surplus food from different sectors of the food industry that would otherwise be disposed of as waste. Following strict safety protocols, the rescued food items will then be prepared as nutritious hot meals in our central kitchen and be redistributed to serve the underprivileged communities in Hong Kong.
