Delivering Love to Afar
By Janice Wong | Project Officer

Hong Kong is a small city, yet there are still many remote villages and newly developed communities that lack resources to support the elderly who are living alone and families in need.
This is why Food Angel, together with the Bank of China (Hong Kong), launched the "Love and Meals on Wheels" project to distribute meals, food packs and other services to those remote areas in a more flexible way.
We recently hosted an event - "Mobile Health Station", allowing us to distribute meals and provide simple health check up service for elderly, such as measuring BMI, blood pressure, blood sugar and oxygen levels.
Grandpa Cheung, who lives in a rural village, has been staying in his neighborhood during the pandemic. Even if he felt sick, he would only take the medicine bought from stores instead of seeing a doctor. He was very grateful that our team went all the way to show him that we care, making him feel less alone.
In fact, apart from fulfilling food needs, we wish to spread love to every corner and bring joy to those in need. Let us join hands and share blessings to the community!

Grandma Yung's Smile
By Janice Wong | Officer

Grandma Yung is 87 years old. Before she knew about Food Angel, she had to go out to buy food every day. As she is getting old and has limited mobility, it is getting more dangerous for her to go out, especially on a rainy day. The security guard in the same building was worried about her, so she has reached out to us to seek meals support for Grandma Yung. Our social worker contacted Grandma Yung immediately and started delivering meals to her.
"I recently hurt my foot when taking a shower. It's great you both came to my house with meals and cared about me so much. My foot is not so pain anymore. I am really grateful of that!" Grandma Yung said with a smile while holding our meal box.
It is our greatest joy to see how our meal boxes bring a little convenience to elderlies and families in need.

Bittersweet

Tom was a tour guide who lived with his wife and 12-year-old son. Unemployed due to the pandemic, he once enrolled in a security course in hopes of landing a new job. But because of his physical condition and old age, he was unable to find one. He sustained for a period with his own savings and loans from friends, but eventually, he seeked help from our social workers. During the interview, Tom could no longer held back the heavy pressure and emotions and started crying... He felt guilty towards his family, especially his son who had just started secondary school. The only thing he could do was to starve himself and let his family eat first.
Food Angel launched the "Automated Food Dispenser Service" of Jockey Club Food Assistance Programme to assist cases like Tom, providing them with daily meals along with soup and snacks. Tom feels the heavyweight lifted from his shoulders, that he no longer needs to worry about feeding himself and his family. He kept thanking the community for their support, saying it pushes him to keep trying hard on finding a new job.
Please continue to support our work so we can carry on to spread love for the needy in our community, especially in this challenging time.
