Last few years, many local Taiwanese communities held the annual “Hello Taiwan” charity event and raised over $60,000 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, Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and last year we donated to the “Hurricane Michael” victims and “Measles & Rubella Initiative”, a global partnership ensuring no child dies from measles. Early this year, we also held an Easter fundraiser event to help The Rollstone Foundation to raise funds for special needs children to find them a home in the United States.

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. This 2019 Halloween event we will be donating proceeds to support Rainforest Foundation US to save the Amazon rainforest and its people from ruthless fires!

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

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！所以今年的萬聖節派對，活動的盈餘和捐款將會給雨林保護組織 Rainforest Foundation 幫助雨林地區的原住民族與傳統居民, 針對亞馬遜國境邊界區域的多樣性推行保存與管理計畫!

萬聖節服裝比賽, 每個參賽孩子都會獲得獎品,寶寶組/小小朋友組/小朋友組/大朋友組服裝比賽獲獎者將獲得20美元現金以及特別的禮物, 此外活動現場將有數樣台灣美食,客家小吃和珍珠奶茶，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。同時安排了很多適合小朋友的活動，包括臉部彩繪，紋身貼紙, 工藝品製作, 並享受舞蹈, 劍道示範和現場樂隊表演, 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！

此慈善音樂會每年由亞洲人在紐約 (AsianInNY), 大紐約區台灣同鄉會 (TAANY), 大紐約區台灣人社團聯合會(TAC-GNY), 和大紐約區台灣會館主辦。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。
