Our Bread Run events are on every Monday， Wednesday and Friday (Public Holidays included), between 6:30pm and 9.30pm

Everyday in Hong Kong, over 3,250 tonnes of food waste are dumped into landfills, while one in five people live in poverty and struggle to eat. Breadline is Hong Kong’s first public digital platform for food rescue. Volunteers connect with bakeries on Breadline.hk to rescue leftover bread using real-time updates to make every run count. Together, we save resources from being wasted and we support the homeless; low-income families; refugees and their children and the elderly poor, by delivering bread the same night to our grassroots partners.

Remarks
- We are looking for volunteers who are flexible, independent and reliable. All volunteers are welcome though we strongly encourage return volunteers - why not make this meaningful run part of your routine? Breadline have grown from a small, four-friends activity to a large city-wide endeavour with 3 cars, 4 NGOs and 5 bakery chains, involving 170+ bakeries and thousands of volunteers. Our vision is zero waste and we need more volunteers as we expand. YOU can help us achieve our goal of 100% recovery rate! We empower YOU to make a difference today!
