Field notes
Three refrigerated vans collect surplus from supermarkets, bakeries, hotels and wet-market stalls; arrivals are checked and sorted in the foundation’s Kwun Tong cold room. Its work spans cooked lunch boxes and texture-modified soft meals, weekly ingredient baskets for older residents who still cook, and Table Works catering and ready meals, which the site says also provides work to older people and people with disabilities. The page links annual reports and identifies its figures as covering the 2025/26 financial year.
