What we need

Join a 1 hour briefing call
Help transport and drive fellow volunteers to various bakeries to collect surplus bread
Distribute food items to at-risk communities around Hong Kong

Background

Each week, Green Hour runs its weekly food collection/distribution programme. The Bun Run aims to fight food waste and poverty through partnering with bakeries, restaurants and social welfare organisations to connect those in need with surplus food which would otherwise be sent directly to landfill.

What we have

Drivers will be reimbursed for any parking required during the event.

Why this is important

Green Hour hopes to reach more bakeries each week. Taking the closing times of the bakeries and distance between them into account, the event is quite time sensitive. Having help with transport will allow us to reach more places in one evening, making a bigger impact and helping more people.

What we do

We only have one planet. It is up to us to do what we can to protect it. With this in mind, Green Hour was established in 2018 to raise the awareness in the community of the importance of environmental protection. With over 80 cleanups organised, 100+ weekly Bun Run's fighting food waste, as well as school and corporate partnerships, Green Hour continues to make a growing positive impact in Hong Kong.
