Food Assistant offers by Social Welfare Department (Hong Kong)

In February 2009, SWD commissioned five non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to operate five short-term food assistance service projects covering the whole territory to help individuals and families who have difficulties in coping with their daily food expenditure.

Individuals or families who have proven difficulties coping with daily food expenditure, including those among the unemployed, low-income earners, new arrivals, street sleepers, as well as individuals or families encountering sudden change and facing immediate financial hardship, etc.

Applicants may contact the Operating NGOs according to their place of residence and provide the NGOs with HKID card, proof of residential address, etc. for eligibility assessment.
