As a caring enterprise, Wanshun Group participated in the signing ceremony and donated 1 million yuan of charity money, all of which will be used for more than 40 relief projects in five categories, namely, helping doctors, helping students, helping the elderly, helping the public and helping emergencies, which are carried out by the Municipal Charity Federation all year round.
At the meeting, President Hong Jinhua delivered an important speech. He first expressed his sincere thanks to all the caring enterprises and people who participated in the donation and supported the public welfare activities of the Municipal Charity Federation for a long time, and introduced the relief projects and progress of the Municipal Charity Federation in recent years.
President Hong said that in the past 20 years, under the strong leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, the Municipal Charity Federation has taken the initiative, dedicated love from all walks of life, collected nearly 0.4 billion yuan in donations, spent nearly 0.2 billion yuan in donations, and helped more than 400,000 needy groups. Ten thousand people (times) have made positive contributions to the protection and improvement of people's livelihood. However, at present, there are still a certain number of needy groups in our city in urgent need of assistance, such as urban and rural low-income households, extremely poor households, low-income farmers who have been lifted out of poverty and are extremely easy to return to poverty, and people who are in trouble every year due to illness and disaster and need assistance. He emphasized that compared with the rescue requirements of the party committee and government, the expectations of the needy groups for a better life, and the development of philanthropy in advanced areas, Yangzhou philanthropy still has a long way to go to help the poor and help people's livelihood.
