Eliminating Hunger
Good Neighbor Meal Delivery Team
PCSC stores are located within every county and city in Taiwan, and through our meal delivery service we are able to provide meals to financially disadvantaged households or elders. The program also made up for the gap in shortage of food delivery manpower for public welfare organizations during weekend. Starting from Hualien and Taitung in 2014, we have now expanded to multiple counties and cities providing services as of 2022, including the outlying island (Green Island).
We called on store employees to deliver meals to elders living alone or having limited mobility. They also monitor these elders and can report back to non-profit organizations if assistance is needed. Alternatively, financially disadvantaged elders or households can pick up meals in-store, eliminating hunger and encouraging elders to walk out of their homes to interact with others. In view of the pandemic at the end of 2020, the meal pickup and delivery services were expanded to cover other materials and generate more benefits. In 2022, We partnered with 4 foundations in 2021, including the Sisters of Our Lady of China Catholic Charity Social Welfare Foundation, Mennonite Social Welfare Foundation, Hondao Senior Citizens Welfare Foundation, A Kernel of Wheat Foundation.
