What we have
Training and all required equipment will be provided. Full-day volunteers are more than welcome to stay for lunch!
Why this is important
By filtering out inappropriate books and sorting the accepted ones into different categories, the Books Department helps Crossroads distribute specific books to different recipients based on their needs, thus serving them better. It's always heartwarming to hear how kids/adults were able to enjoy and benefit from their books!

Causes
What we do
Crossroads Foundation is a Hong Kong based, non-profit organisation serving global need. We believe that, in a broken world that sees too much suffering, we should do all we can to link those who are in need with those who can provide help. So we provide an intersection, literally a crossroads, to bring both together. • Global Distribution: This distributes Hong Kong's quality excess goods as needed, internationally and locally. It provides a crossroads between need and supply. • Global X-perience: This offers simulated x-periences of global need. It provides a crossroads between the lifestyles of the rich and poor. • Global Handicrafts: This sells fair trade goods from people in poverty. It is a crossroads between those needing a fair income and those with buying power. • Global Hand: This provides a 'matching' website for public- private partnerships. It is a crossroads between for-profit and non-profit organizations who wish to address global need.
