Caring for underprivileged families: Andrew Food BankCaring for underprivileged families: Andrew Food Bank
Andrew Bank has engaged in “assistance to the disadvantaged, emergency assistance, disaster relief, and education and training” since 2011 and mainly taken care of the daily life and education needs of 15-year-old children in disadvantaged families. As we pay attention to the needs of the disadvantaged, we worked with the Andrew Charity Association in 2020 to launch the project ''HFC’s love for food brings happiness to everywhere". In the spirit of "doing good together", we invited business partners to form the HFC’s love for food alliance in 2022, including Mizuho Bank, Ltd., E.Sun Commercial Bank, Ltd., Taishin Securities Co.,Ltd., and PwC Taiwan, to send food to each corner of Taiwan. The investment over the past three years totaled NT$2.2 million, helping 2,600 families. With practical actions, we not only made a donation of NT$1 million to provide customized food boxes and arranged for all employees in Taiwan to participate in volunteer services and assist in packaging food boxes through this project. We hope that the food boxes provided food for the body and the mind as it affects a person's future development. Thus, the food boxes are regarded as food boxes for body, mind, and spirit. In addition to monthly healthy and nutritious food, the food boxes contain cards to encourage children and knowledge, to care for children with the power of words and enhance their physical and spiritual development.Andrew Bank has engaged in “assistance to the disadvantaged, emergency assistance, disaster relief, and education and training” since 2011 and mainly taken care of the daily life and education needs of 15-year-old children in disadvantaged families.

Support of friends with disabilitiesSupport of friends with disabilities
We took practical actions to support the Taiwan Foundation for the Blind for two consecutive years and actively invested resources in social charity. On the Dragon Boat Festival, we purchased subscribed for the So Bright Dragon Boat Festival Gift Box and gave them to all our employees. Every festival is the busiest time for the Taiwan Foundation for the Blind Sheltered Workshop. In 2022, our employees headed to the shelter workplace to be volunteers full of enthusiasm. They completed the packaging and counting of 500 gift boxes all by themselves in just one afternoon. Each gift box is hand-packed by trained people with disabilities, and people can feel their love through each bite. We hope that our employees can also feel their love when enjoying the gifts.We took practical actions to support the Taiwan Foundation for the Blind for two consecutive years and actively invested resources in social charity.
