HONG KONG \u2014 Most people who head to Woosung Street in Hong Kong\u2019s old-school neighborhood of Jordan are visiting its popular restaurants serving everything from curries to seafood. Others may be headed for a lone refrigerator, painted blue, with a sign that reads: \u201cGive what you can give, take what you need to take.\u201d<\/p>\n

The door of the fridge sitting outside a hockey academy opens to reveal it is stuffed with packets of instant noodles, biscuits, tins of food and even socks and towels for anyone who may need them.<\/p>\n

Ahmen Khan, founder of a sports foundation on the same street, said he was inspired to create a community refrigerator after seeing a film about others doing the same thing. He found the refrigerator at a nearby refuse collection point and painted it blue.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like a dignity, that when you go home, you open your fridge to get food,\u201d Khan said. \u201cSo I want the people to just feel like that. Even if it\u2019s a street, it\u2019s their community, it\u2019s their home, so they can simply just open it and then just put food there, and collect the food.\u201d<\/p>\n

Khan\u2019s blue refrigerator project went viral on social media<\/a> and people have been dropping by to leave food inside.<\/p>\n

Janet Yeung stopped by recently with a plastic bag filled with biscuits, instant noodles and snacks. She stacked them carefully inside.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think doing good deeds does not need to be on a large scale,\u201d Yeung said. \u201cA small act can already show our kindness, and contribute to this world.\u201d<\/p>\n

A resident who would only identify himself as Yeung (no relation to Janet Yeung) is one of the people benefitting from the blue refrigerator, from time to time helping himself to some food or even masks left by donors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who are really in need can take things from the fridge whenever they want without any worries, as the fridge is here 24 hours a day,\u201d he said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
