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.
