Participating in Local Events and Giving Back to the Community
Built during the Japanese Occupation, the teachers' dormitory of Dashu Elementary School located in Shejiao Village, Dashu District, Kaohsiung City worn out and collapsed for years without repair, affecting the safety of teachers, students, and parents. The Shejiao Community Development Association initiated a reconstruction project, which gathered the strength of the Urban Development Bureau of the Kaohsiung City Government, community volunteers, and students, as well as sponsorship from FPC, to restore the Japanese-style courtyard landscape in this location, which was given the name "Green New Shejiao." This architecture won the 2020 Yuan Ye Award in the community cultural landscape construction category and was honored with the Gold Award by the Kaohsiung City Government.
On May 30, 2020, the Dashu District Office organized the 2020 Kaohsiung Pineapple and Litchi Festival at the Old Railway Bridge Wetland Park in Dashu District, and the organizer offered pineapples and litchis for charity auction. The fruits were awarded to FPC for NT$66,000 and the proceeds went to the Dashu District Elderly Food Delivery Love Fund, while all the fruits were donated to the elderly living in Dashu District for use after having their healthy lunch meal. Furthermore, FPC also bought 20 boxes of litchis and donated them to the Swan Garden under the Children Are Us Foundation in conjunction with litchi donation to remote areas, so that the children there can enjoy the sweetness of litchis.
Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, Yunlin County suffered a decline in export sales and faced an oversupply of its bananas, thus causing a significant drop in banana prices. With a view to helping local farmers and responding to the call of the Yunlin County Government, FPC bought 10,500 kilograms of bananas and distributed them to employees and contractors at our complexes when they got off work, in hopes of helping the farmers tide over these difficult times together.
Caring for Vulnerable Groups and Spreading Love During Major Festivals
With the intention of enabling low-income households to enjoy the festivities during major festivals, FPC has been distributing red packets and gifts to low-income households during major festivals each year since 2011, in hopes of spreading our love and care to each vulnerable group.
