  Charity Gifts for the Mid-autumn Festival
 
Today (the 20th), the Social Affairs Bureau of the Taichung City Government organized the Press Conference of the Promotion of Mid-Autumn Festival Products in 2020 for Priority Purchase by inviting 15 welfare organizations for the disadvantaged and shelter factories to set up stands to promote their self-made Mid-Autumn Festival products. At the site, free trials were available. Deputy Director General Chen Kun-Huang called for the public support for the disadvantaged with action to help them contribute to the society and achieve self-realization.
This year, 13 organizations for the disadvantaged launched products for the Mid-Autumn Festival including mooncakes for the occasion and beautiful and practical handmade soap. Deputy Director Chen pointed out that the disadvantaged made pastries by themselves without adding preservatives. Their products have passed strict food safety inspections and the Bureau encourages the public to list them for priority purchase. Income generated from the sales can assist the disadvantaged to fully grow and learn. These products of priority purchase are the best ones for the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts and ways to show charities.
In the press conference, Deputy Director Chen, Smile Angles, and attendees held onto the dumbbells and exercised together to remain the public during the festival, in addition to mooncake and pomelos, exercises are also important to protect themselves. Also do keep your hands clean for better health.
Deputy Director General Chen pointed out that this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic income and donation received by organizations for the disadvantaged decreased sharply; he called for private and public sectors including groups and individuals to support the disadvantaged with purchase action to buy products made by the disadvantaged. By doing so, we will give the disadvantaged more encouragement and recognition.
According to the Social Affairs Bureau, prior reservation is encouraged for those who wish to buy gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival in order for organizations for the disadvantages and shelter factories to plan for their production volume.
