On July 10th, the GF Securities (Hong Kong) volunteer team joined hands with the charitable organization Food Angel, kicking off a meaningful volunteer experience. On that day, colleagues from different departments of the company not only participated hands-on in vegetable processing, but also gained a deeper understanding of the stories and value behind the food to be delivered to those in need.
Before the activity began, Food Angel's staff introduced the organization's mission and daily work in detail. Food Angel's volunteers collect edible vegetables from the local catering industry, rigorously select and process them, and provide free meals for those in need.
Although vegetable processing is merely one part of Food Angel’s overall meal preparation process, after a few hours, colleagues deeply felt that the preparation of each meal box is imbued with the hard work and selfless contributions of many caring individuals from all walks of life.
Kong Hao from the Wealth Management department is a frequent volunteer, but he felt this Food Angel activity was particularly special. He believes that "processing recycled vegetables not only embodies the spirit of ESG and environmental protection, but also the spirit of helping others." In fact, each member of the company's volunteer team shares the same feeling and has been deeply inspired by Food Angel’s mission of "stopping waste, solving hunger, and connecting through love." We believe that our humble contributions can bring positive impact to society.
According to the 2023 "The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World" report, the global population facing hunger has increased by 122 million since the Covid-19 pandemic. In Hong Kong, more than 1.5 million people face food insecurity challenges every day, while about 30% of municipal solid waste is food waste.
The GF Securities (Hong Kong) volunteer team sincerely thanks Food Angel for providing employees the opportunity to participate in this activity. Through our humble efforts, we hope to let more people feel the care and warmth of society. We believe that the delivery of every meal is a respect for life and a promise for the future.
Let's take action together, heartfelt and hands-on. Bring more light and warmth to the world with love and action, sow hope and reap happiness on the path of public welfare!
