We collaborated with local partner Caritas to create the Neighbourhood Kitchen in the Shek Tong Tsui district of Hong Kong in 2018, targeting residents living in cramped sub-divided flats, giving them much-needed space to cook, bond over food and receive support, thus creating a strong sense of community.
After three years of operation, the space has evolved into a community where families can network, children can learn and everyone can receive support. Through ‘Project Social Food’ and the ‘School Lunch Program’, we collect rescued but fresh food ingredients and hire kitchen members to serve nutritious meals to students without the benefit of meal allowances due to the pandemic-induced suspension of full day school.
We contributed to the creation of the Neighbourhood Farm, whose rooftop allows families to grow vegetables locally.
