Last few years, many local Taiwanese communities held the annual “Hello Taiwan” charity event and raised over $40,000 to support Breezy Point firemen whose houses burned down in Hurricane Sandy, domestic violence victims in Queens and Brooklyn, typhoon victims in the Philippines, concert fire burn victims in Taiwan, Hurricane Matthew aftermath in Haiti and last year we donated over $10,000 through Red Cross to the people who lost their home caused by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. This year we have chosen to donate to the “Hurricane Michael” victims and “Measles & Rubella Initiative”, a global partnership ensuring no child dies from measles.

From the success of last year’s event, we would like to once again make “Hello Taiwan” a family event so kids are encouraged to join to understand the meaning of “giving” and help to support the great cause to raise money to help our communities. Also we would like to provide kids with lots of games and activities to enjoy and celebrate Halloween together!

Even better, our Taiwanese Food Bazaar will feature delectable and authentic Taiwanese dishes that you can’t find anywhere else.

一年一度的「喂台灣」慈善活動, 今年再次選擇與萬聖節結合, 讓家長們可以攜帶小孩一起同樂。自2012年起，「喂台灣」活動已經募捐超過4萬美元，幫助給需要的單位, 包括珊迪颶風（紐約市消防局，2012）、海燕颱風（菲律賓，2013）、家暴關懷（紐約勵馨基金會，2014）, 氣爆燙傷（台灣陽光基金會，2015）, 2016為海地馬修颶風重建募款等，去年波多黎各在颶風來襲時造成非常大的損失，居民流離四散, 「喂台灣」也伸出援手募款幫助波多黎各的朋友。今年我們選擇捐贈”颶風邁克” 受害者,和”麻疹和風疹計劃”，這是一項全球合作計劃，確保沒有兒童死於麻疹。

今年的活動也希望讓小朋友認識了解「給予」的意義和「慈善」的重要性！所以今年的活動，安排了很多適合小朋友的活動，包括小朋友 「萬聖節服裝比賽」, 臉部彩繪，說唱時間, 舞蹈表演, 跆拳道示範, 客家擂茶製作和各式各樣的遊戲，鼓勵家長們攜帶小孩一起參加，藉此活動讓孩子們共同參與，享受溫馨的家庭日並為公益發輝一己之力！

除了現場音樂會，不可或缺的當然就是美食小吃。活動現場將有數樣台灣小吃和珍珠奶茶，讓前來的小小朋友可以一起同歡, 家長可以趁時間好好的品嘗台灣美味好吃的夜市小點。

此慈善音樂會每年由亞洲人在紐約 (AsianInNY), 大紐約區台灣會館 和大紐約區台灣同鄉會 (TAANY)主辦。主辦單位希望透過「喂台灣」音樂會，讓台灣人社區新生代有更多的交流機會。活動地點為台灣會館，地址是137-44 Northern Blvd, Flushing, NY 11354。
