Which Charity does this beer donate to?
Feeding Hong Kong
One night in 2009, they witnessed a single pallet of fresh, perfectly edible bread headed to the bin. Instead of letting this good food go to waste, they rescued and donated it to a local crisis shelter. This evolved into a quest to find out what happened to other good food when it was no longer wanted.
There were signs of encouragement: individual bakeries sharing surplus, charities picking up leftovers from wet markets at closing time. But what was missing was something of scale – a link between companies with quality surplus, and charities with need. This is the gap Feeding Hong Kong fills.
