【FRRC Mooncake Recovery Program 2021】

FRRC recovered nearly 5,000 pieces of mooncakes in total, which is a drastic increase compares with last year’s 1,000 pieces. It was close to the recovered amount of more than 5,000 pieces of mooncakes in 2019 before the epidemic. In 2019, 70% of the mooncakes was received after the Mid-Autumn Festival while 80% was recovered before the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. With the increased awareness on “food-wise”, people were willing to assess whether there would be excess mooncakes early at home and took the initiative to send the mooncakes to FRRC for people in need in the community before the Mid-autumn festival. I want to thank the organizations and citizens who have participated in mooncake recycling for supporting us in the community. In addition to the mooncakes being distributed to the registered beneficiaries of FRRC, we distributed more than 2,800 mooncakes to two District Council offices, the social welfare organization and the Rehabilitation & Healthcare Home. Through these organizations, we donate mooncakes to more people in need and help the community. More people are sharing the joy of the holiday.

FRRC received more than 800 mooncakes after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even after the end of the mooncake recovery program, FRRC still received many inquiries about the mooncakes recovery. Perhaps the strong festive sense has placed an unspoken “time limit” on the mooncakes, as once the festival is over, they are no longer desired and ended up at the recycling centre. We sincerely encourage manufacturers, retailers and the general public to take the initiative and responsibility to properly handle potential surplus food items at the earliest convenience in future festivals.
