Food Angel - Food Assistance

Food Assistance

The Food Angel Community Centre in Sham Shui Po serves over 250 elderly, who live alone or who are facing a crisis situation, every day.

We extend our friendship and loving care to the elderly with a simple meal we place into their hands. We value our personal relationship with them and the chance to listen to their life stories. Food Angel hopes that elderly people will find happiness and can regain vitality and confidence in life at our Community Centre.

With the help of our volunteers, the Community Centre serves hot meals and hosts birthday parties, festive celebrations and interest classes with the elderly.

Our Outreach Angels deliver meal boxes, food packs and loving care to the elderly. Since the Outreach program has launched, our volunteers have offered support to 200 vulnerable elderly suffering from chronic illnesses, impaired mobility, and/or those living in loneliness or in isolation. Home-bound elderly especially look forward to every visit by our Outreach Angels who help to re-establish a much needed connection between them and their community.

Food Angel prepares an average of over 15,000 nutritious meals and helps distribute over 9,000 other meals and food packs every day, of which over 95% are delivered to our Charity Partners (including community centres, religious groups, centres for cage home dwellers, and special disability centres) to be redistributed to people in need.

Food Angel has been working closely with different parties to harness the power of the community, in search of ways to cooperate on providing assistance to areas without sufficient resources. With the community school canteen programme, we hope to form partnerships with more schools to fully utilize the empty school canteens after school hours, and transforming them into community canteens to distribute free meals to the needy in the community.

This is part of the Jockey Club Food Assistance Programme, with the automated food dispensers in various districts, this innovative initiative allows for flexible collection of cook-chill meals supporting those with irregular working hours for up to a year. This service aims to relieve the financial burden of those who are affected by COVID-19.
