Growing Together: Supporting Children's Nutrition Through Organic Farm Volunteering
-
Our team joined hands with local partners tosupport children's nutrition, contributing to the provision of 60 kg of riceand 20 boxes of fresh produce for residential care institutions across Taiwan.
November 2, 2026 – As part of our ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), our team came together for a meaningful day of volunteering in collaboration with the Home for Babies Social Welfare Association and Wunong Organic Farm in Taichung, Taiwan. The initiative brought together agricultural education, hands-on harvesting, and food donations, connecting our commitment to health and nutrition with practical support for children living in residential care institutions.
Through this collaboration, 100 Taiwanese catties (approximately 60 kg) of rice and 20 boxes of fresh produce are designated for distribution through the association's established food support program. The rice is intended for 10 children's residential care institutions, with quarterly deliveries, while fresh produce is distributed weekly.
Supporting Access to Fresh Food for Children in Residential Care
The Home for Babies Social Welfare Association is a Taiwanese nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children living in residential care institutions. Working with approximately 50 institutions across Taiwan, the association coordinates regular deliveries of fresh produce and other essential food supplies. Its programs also extend to emotional support, extracurricular learning, and career exploration opportunities.
By connecting local farmers, corporate partners, and residential care institutions, the association helps address the ongoing need for reliable access to fresh food. Through this partnership, we had the opportunity to contribute to these efforts while encouraging our team members to take an active role in supporting the community.
From Farm Education to Hands-On Harvesting
At Wunong Organic Farm, our team members learned about organic farming practices and their role in soil conservation, environmental protection, and responsible agricultural production. Guided by local farmers, our volunteers took part in harvesting vegetables intended to support the association's food donation program.
Beyond the hands-on experience, the activity offered a closer look at the journey of food from farm to table, deepening our appreciation for the effort and resources behind every fresh ingredient.
Promoting Food Waste Awareness
The farm also organized an interactive activity focused on reducing food waste, using visually imperfect produce and ingredients approaching their recommended use dates. Our team learned how perfectly usable ingredients that might otherwise go to waste could be transformed into a nutritious green smoothie. This simple yet meaningful experience highlighted the importance of making better use of food resources and adopting more sustainable consumption habits.
Turning Team Participation into MeaningfulCommunity Support
For us, corporate social responsibility goes beyond financial contributions. It is also about showing up, getting involved, and working together to make a positive difference. As a company dedicated to health and nutrition, we believe that supporting healthier communities is an important extension of what we do. Through this initiative, our team not only contributed to children's access to fresh food but also gained a deeper understanding of sustainable agriculture, food waste reduction, and the value of community partnerships.
Small actions, when shared by many, can createmeaningful change.
We look forward to continuing our collaboration with community partners and turning our commitment to social responsibility into lasting, positive action.
