The New Taipei City Government not only has doubled the delivery of groceries and living necessities to families in urgent need through the assistance of social workers and village chiefs, but also worked in conjunction with the nongovernmental organization, the “1919 Food Bank”. Under restrictions of low level of public activity, for vulnerable families and disabled people in need, assistance was just a phone call away. After undergoing an assessment, they could receive food boxes sent by the 1919 Food Bank through a courier service with all shipping fees paid for by private enterprises and a foundation. This not only has provided necessary and timely assistance to vulnerable families, but also reduced people’s contacts and infection risk during the pandemic.
