Helping to bridge the "digital divide"

Volunteering is sweet

In addition, gushengtang medical volunteers also provide free consultations for everyone.

"The financial account of the Fujian Strait Bank's social security card has all the functions of an ordinary bank card, and can handle financial business such as deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and consumption. Various social security benefits such as medical and social security expenses, pensions, unemployment insurance benefits, work injury insurance benefits, flexible employment subsidies, etc., can be accurately issued through the financial account of the new social security card. Volunteers from Fujian Strait Bank said.

"This knowledge is too practical, and the volunteers of Fujian Strait Bank also provide door-to-door card making services, which is too thoughtful for us." Aunt Zhu, who lives in the Pingtung City community, said.

At the event site, the volunteers of Tongli Meat Swallow brought bowls of Taiping Yan for the elderly, which symbolized peace. "Respecting the elderly is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and as a time-honored brand in China, it is incumbent upon us to carry forward and inherit this virtue." Chen Junfan, the inheritor of Tongli Meat Swallow, said that the action of adapting to the elderly has built a platform for them to give back to the society, and they hope to release the "glimmer" through the small things of mortals and warm rongcheng.
