“Goodwill” steamed buns – You buy steamed buns and we’ll deliver goodwill!

Located in the Zhongzheng District of Tapei City, Yongchang is an old community where over-sixty-fives account for fifteen percent of the population and many are in need of extra care. On the last Thursday of each month at Yongchang Evergreen Club, which is situated in an alley off Ningbo West Street, a group of local silver-haired volunteers has been producing hand-made “goodwill buns”, the proceeds of which have been reinvested into the community to fund free lunch boxes for elderly people living alone. At the activity center, which is supported by an incredible 30-strong local volunteer group that enthusiastically participates in all local activities and giving back to the community, elderly attendees can relax and enjoy drinking tea, chatting with friends, playing Chinese chess and reading newspapers.

位於台北市中正區的永昌社區，是個老舊的社區，65歲以上的老年人口比例達15％，許多長輩需要人關懷。而位處寧波西街巷弄裡的永昌長青會，在每個月最後一週的星期四，由一群銀髮志工們自製出純手工的「福氣饅頭」，並將義賣所得回饋給社區，作為獨居老人愛心便當的基金。有別於一般「老人活動據點」，除了提供長者喝茶、聊天、下棋、看報紙，永昌長青會由30名社區內的退休人士所組成的志工團隊，他們希望盡一己之力，參與社區活動並發揮愛心。
