Yantian District unveiled its new Charity Supermarket on Oct. 25, a milestone in promoting modern philanthropy and fostering a culture of charity in the community.
Positioned as a “public service-oriented, market-driven, and professional” charity platform, the Yantian District Charity Supermarket was established by the Civil Affairs Bureau of Yantian. It is dedicated to providing essential support to low-income families, the elderly living alone, individuals with disabilities, and residents facing unexpected hardships. By ensuring these vulnerable groups have access to affordable and timely assistance, the supermarket aims to enhance the quality and accessibility of aid services.
In addition to its direct aid efforts, the supermarket connects with socially responsible enterprises, channeling their contributions to those in need. This initiative amplifies corporate goodwill and fosters a community where charity becomes an everyday practice.
As a demonstration site for Shenzhen’s charitable endeavors, the Yantian District Charity Supermarket serves as a model for integrating philanthropy into daily life, emphasizing that anyone, anywhere, at any time, can contribute to building a more compassionate society.
