背景資料

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. Our Bread Run events are on every Monday and Friday (including public holidays) between 6pm and 9.30pm

我們可提供的資源

We have a world-class website that allows volunteers to make decisions in real-time and reach maximum efficiency: you won't be wasting time going to shops that have no bread and you will be able to choose the ones with larger haul to pick! We have a core support team who will liaise with you via mobile during each Bread Run and give you advice or assist you at any time. Our drivers and Drop Point Managers will be welcoming you at our Drop Points

對我們的意義

Breadline has grown from a small, four-friends activity to a large city-wide endeavour involving 120 bakeries, thousands of volunteers, three cars, 5 bakery chains and 4 NGOs. We need your help to ensure no bread is ever going wasted! Our present recovery rate is over 95% but with your help we'd like to get to 100%!!

我們的工作

Breadline is a web application that connects volunteers to bakeries to collect bread surpluses just-in-time for those who need it. We are Hong Kong's first public digital platform for food rescue. Breadline is an initiative by HKFoodWorks, a HK registered charity. We work with major partner NGOs and bakery chains in Hong Kong and we have recovered over 300,000 pieces of bread since we started 3 years ago. Breadline is data-driven and based on Dr. Daisy Tam's ongoing research on food security. It has received multiple local and international grants, including the prestigious Fullbright award and it was partially developed at MIT's Urban Risk Lab. Every day, 3600 tonnes of food waste are sent to landfills in Hong Kong, while one in five people live in poverty and struggle to afford nutritious meals. Breadline's mission is to put a stop to this.
