“Rain or shine, I drive the Feeding Hong Kong truck around the city to deliver food parcels to those in need in Hong Kong. I take care of warehouse stocking, organise the food donations, transport each box of food from the warehouse to my truck and deliver hundreds of packages to over a hundred charities for onwards distribution across the city. I also make frequent trips to and from the airport, where we collect unused packaged food items leftover from airplane meal trolleys. Many people don’t think about where all this stuff goes! Sometimes perfectly edible food is thrown away and taken to the landfills – did you know that each piece of KFC chicken needs to meet exact shape or size requirements? Otherwise it all goes to the bin. We work to limit that waste. I’ve been working at FeedingHK for almost 5 years now, and people recognise me as the man who brings food in his big truck. When I reach the charities there is often already a queue of people waiting – it makes my day to see their faces light up. When I see that other people are happy, it makes me happy too.”
