“Compassion bread” delivery service – Suplus goods aid the vulnerable

Min-le Village is located in New Taipei City’s Yonghe District. The local borough chief, Liu Shan-zhen (劉善珍), spends most of her time shuttling throughout Yonghe delivering over one hundred portions of “compassion bread” for the needy each day. She has been delivering the bread for over five years, which amounts to over 150,000 portions. Recipients of the bread include low-income families, Yonghe’s Rongguang Orphanage, the Foundation for Children with Developmental Delays and street cleaners. 

Working together with two bakeries in Yonghe, “Kaori Bakery n Coffee” and “Xiao-Mai-Jia Bakery,” each afternoon Liu Shan-zhen arrives at the bakeries to pack surplus bread into boxes and tie them to motorcycles ready for delivery. The bread is then transported through the streets of Yonghe to over one hundred people in need. Wu Yan-jun (吳彥均), owner of Kaori Bakery n Coffee said: “Our bakery insists on not selling bread from the day before, so we looked for a channel to donate surplus bread to in order to avoid waste. We found the borough chief, Liu Shan-zhen, and donated the bread to her in the hope that this small offering would attract more substantial donations and highlight the need for further resources.”

新北勢永和區民樂里里長劉善珍，每天以機車代步，穿梭於中永和大街小巷，運送上百個愛心麵包給需要的人。她發送愛心麵包已超過五年，投遞超過十五萬個愛心麵包，發送對象包含低收入家庭、永和榮光育幼院、遲緩兒基金會及清潔工等弱勢族群。

她與中和區「薰麥手感烘焙」、「小麥家烘焙坊」兩家麵包店合作，每到下午，便能看見劉善珍的身影出現於麵包店門口，將每天剩餘麵包裝箱並用繩索牢牢固定，以機車代步的方式，穿梭於中和、永和大街小巷，送出上百個愛心麵包給需要的人。薰麥手感烘焙店老闆吳彥均說：「我們店堅持不賣隔夜麵包，然而每天剩餘的麵包卻形成資源浪費，因此，便開始尋找捐出麵包的管道，於是找到了民樂里里長劉姐，希望捐出麵包的舉動能拋磚引玉，使更多資源的需求被看見。」
