Feeding HK held their fifth Volunteer Night at Pizza Express with Liam Collette General Manager of Pizza Express commenting “We are conscious of those less fortunate, and we have worked with Feeding Hong Kong to devise a programme where our leftover fresh dough is baked daily into flatbreads, frozen and redistributed to people in need. However, this couldn’t be accomplished without the wonderful volunteers that also support this food bank, so we’re delighted to be able to share some tasty treats and a celebratory atmosphere tonight for this well deserving group.”
