[Good people and good deeds/Second-hand meals/Elderly/Elderly/Ginkgo biloba] Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the economy continues to be sluggish, and all walks of life are also hit hard, and the life of the grassroots is even more difficult.

Earlier, it was discovered that an elderly person was picking up "second-hand rice" in the food court of West Kowloon Center. The social enterprise "Ginkgo Pavilion", which has always distributed meals to people in need, sent staff to search there.

Later, an 83-year-old mother-in-law went to the community canteen to apply for the service. She said that although she was worried about the hygiene problems of the second-hand meal, she still couldn't make a living by selling clothes on the street. She had no choice but to say: "I can't help myself when I get hungry. !"

The social enterprise ginkgo pavilion issued a document on the fb stating that an 83-year-old mother-in-law only relied on "second-hand rice" to satisfy her hunger in recent months. When the social worker learned about it, she arranged for her to enjoy free meal service in the community canteen.

Ginkgo Pavilion posted a post on its Facebook page, saying that it had learned that some citizens were picking up "second-hand rice" at the food court on the 8th floor of West Kowloon Plaza to fill up their hunger, so it sent staff to the scene to look for it, and asked nearby shops to pay attention, hoping to notify them to the banner Use free meal service in community canteens.

The next day, an 83-year-old mother-in-law went to the community canteen to ask for service, saying that she had been relying on second-hand meals for months.

When the staff asked if they would be worried about the hygiene problems of second-hand rice during the epidemic, the mother-in-law sighed helplessly: "I can't do anything when I get hungry!" When the mother-in-law came to the dining hall that day, she also brought a large bag of clothes, saying that she would bring clothes occasionally. I went to the street to sell it, hoping to help my life, but the reality was not going well, "The shirt is for people who don’t want to give it to me. I will sell it on the street for a while...but I don’t have business in the future. Sometimes No one can buy it every day."

Ginkgo Pavilion's post stated that the mother-in-law who eats second-hand rice will sometimes bring clothes to the street to sell them, hoping to help make up for their lives, but business is bleak under the epidemic.

The Ginkgo Pavilion lamented that the economy has fallen into a trough under the epidemic. "Many grassroots are living a life of embarrassment and starvation."

When the social worker learned about her mother-in-law’s situation, she issued a "meal card" to her. Recently, her mother-in-law also went to the dining hall to eat every day, and even more rarely said with a smile, "Today is so delicious!" And the staff was most comforted. It is a sentence from the mother-in-law: "If you have to eat rice, please don't eat second-hand rice."

The post attracted a large number of netizens’ praise, thanking the Ginkgo Pavilion for helping the grassroots, and appealing to capable citizens to take one step more and take care of those in need with their own abilities. "I hope you will think about it when you are full. There are still many people who are old and helpless and need your care and love.” “I’m so kind when I see them. I don’t know how to describe my mood. Thank you very much. I wish my mother-in-law good health. When you eat, you also know that some people in this society care about them."

Under the epidemic, the restaurant was closed and the mother-in-law walked for 3 hours to the ginkgo pavilion to pick up free meals. One sentence touched netizens
