The FOOD-CO platform of the Food Support Flagship Project has grown fast with flying colours since its launch in May 2017. Task Force Chairperson Prof Stephen Cheung recently led members of the Task Force and the Secretariat to visit two FOOD-CO service points in Kwai Tsing District. An introduction to FOOD-CO’s operation was given by Ms Josephine Lee, Chief Executive Officer of St. James’ Settlement, the intermediary for the Food Support Flagship Project.
As a service point under FOOD-CO, St. James’ Settlement Kindness Centre (Kwai Chung) provides food assistance services through its food bank while discount markets are held from time to time. The team also paid a visit to Asbury Methodist Social Service (which offers hot meals) and met the representatives of food donors and food support service operators who all praised FOOD-CO for successfully enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of food support service while addressing the issues of food wastage.
