There are a number of food banks in 香港赛马会 that can provide emergency food parcels to help people who are temporarily unable to provide for themselves. Some of them require you to obtain a voucher in order to receive a food parcel, so check with them before you visit. Contact details are listed below.
If you are pregnant or have a child under four years old you could get to help buy some basic foods.
