Carefully Selected Yunlin Farm Produce– welfare organization launches brand to increase income sources

Caring for local adults with mental disorders, Yunlin County Mental and Physical Care Association (雲林縣身心照護協會) supports the establishment of various vocational skills through training services. Though the association relies on government subsidies, it also looks to create new windows of revenue from OEM work. However, with diminishing OEM work opportunities over recent years, the association began searching for new ways to create sources of income, and developed Taiwan's unique "LOHAS Carefully Selected Yunlin Farm Produce” brand, which sells exclusive merchandise from nationwide welfare shelters.

Welfare shelter merchandise sold under the brand name does not compete for business with local farmers or stores, as it is based on doing OEM work. By training association members in farm skills, they can also help nearby farmers with harvesting or laboring in exchange for agricultural products.

雲林縣身心照護協會為照顧原生社區的成年心智障礙者，建立各種支持性職業技能培訓服務，其財務來源除了靠政府的補助外，也極力尋求代工機會開創財源。近年來雲林縣內可代工的機會卻越來越少，為開拓財源，該協會自創品牌，發展出全台特有的「樂活嚴選雲林農產」社福專屬品牌庇護商品。
社福團體創品牌賣庇護商品並不是要跟農民或店家搶生意，是以代工的概念來經營，協會訓練學員農務技能，再幫附近的農場採收農作，以勞務換取農產做為酬勞。
