"By the end of this month, all the New Year's Love Shopping Cards will be distributed. At the same time, each village carried out a 'charity one-day donation' throughout the village, which truly highlights the concept of charity and assistance taken from the people and used by the people. Recently, the Taoshan Charity Branch and the Taoshan Charity Volunteer Service Team will send the new year's "Love Shopping Card" to 540 needy households in 47 villages in the town, with a limit of 1,000 yuan each. This is also the second year that the Municipal Charity Federation has issued "love shopping cards" to the town's low-income households and marginal households after the establishment of Taoshan Station, the Municipal Charity Federation.
This card is good, you can use it slowly. I used up last year's shopping card in October this year, and the last time I used it, I made up 20 yuan and bought a barrel of oil. Chen Dingkai is 80 years old this year, is a five-guarantee household in Taoshan Town, has no wife and no children, and has lived by farming all his life. Due to his poor health, he still has to buy medicine often, and he just had gallstone surgery some time ago. The "Love Shopping Card" was sent to him in the form of a consumption card, and he bought a little bit every month, and estimated that he could buy daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for a year.
Lao Wu, a 62-year-old low-income household, has an intellectual disability with his wife and son, and he himself has a physical disability, and his family expenses are very tight. With a subsidy of 1,000 yuan a year, he can reduce the burden of daily necessities for most of the year.
This 1,000 yuan is very useful, and I usually have money to buy some cakes and send them to the nursing home for my mother and son. Lao Wu told reporters that thanks to the help of ** and many caring people, their family can tide over the difficulties. "These sweet potatoes in my family were sent to us by our neighbors in the same village, and I am very grateful for the help of so many people. He said.
Lin Jinhong, deputy secretary of the general party branch and deputy director of the village committee of Hangjiang Village, said that the old Wu family has almost no normal labor force, and there are usually charity and condolence activities, and the village will consider taking care of their family, including the villagers. Some time ago, there was also a caring volunteer service team to renovate the kitchen for their home, so that they have a safe and bright kitchen.
Relying on a local wholesale department, Taoshan Station of Charity Home is located on Huayuan Road, which is an old store that has been in business for many years and has a certain reputation in the local area. The reporter saw that the wholesale department is not large, but the product range is complete, and the first is preferential. "We also know the difficulties of consumers who buy with cards, and when we ask us what products they need, we will help them bring the goods. Especially for the elderly, after buying a large item, we will help deliver it to the station, or deliver it to his home during the usual delivery. Wang Xiaona, the owner of the wholesale department, said that when they go to the factory to pick up the goods, they often strive for more gifts, such as dishes and plates, to give to the people in need.
It is reported that at present, the needy households of 4 charity home sub-stations have received 1,000 yuan "love shopping card" in the new year, namely Taoshan Station, Linchuan Station, Huling Station and Pingyangkeng Station of the Charity Home, with a total of 2,016 needy households benefiting.
