Project Details
What we need
- Sort, test, label and pack items for distribution
- Manage and report on stock and inventory
- Pack and palletize items ready for shipping
- Supervise short term volunteers of all ages and backgrounds
- Our full time staff are all volunteers, so your support will be highly appreciated and crucially required. A minimum attendance of 2 days a week (preferably Fri/Sat) for 3 months is required
Background
The Bulk Department acts as an overflow processing centre for clothing and household items.
What we have
Training, as well as all the relevant equipment will be provided. Full-day volunteers are also more than welcome to stay for lunch!
Why this is important
Whether it's a warm blanket or a set of cooking supplies, what may seem mundane could mean the world to someone else. The Bulk Department, along with the Clothing and Household Departments, work hard to ensure our beneficiaries have access to an acceptable standard of living.

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.
