To ensure that vulnerable families’ basic needs are met during the pandemic, the New Taipei City Government has worked with district offices, social welfare service centers, and private organizations to quickly distribute resources through the “necessities bank”, which helped disadvantaged families overcome resource shortages. New Taipei has been promoting the “necessities bank” in collaboration with private sectors since 2011 with the aim of forming a social care and support network through community donations, which has enabled disadvantaged families in the city during the pandemic to have easier access to necessities in order to support their day-to-day lives.
