Enhancing People’s Food Bank Services

As Social Welfare Department allocated some resources to People’s Food Bank for territory-wide (except Kwun Tong) short term food assistance since 1 August 2008, People’s Food Bank will spend all the funding on buying food in order to help maximum number of service users.

 The service targets are non CSSA recipients whom are low income group, unemployed, families encounter sudden change, street sleepers and “ng mo” as well.  The application for CSSA recipients will be accepted when social workers assess their urgent need.  The maximum period of food assistance is 6 weeks.
