Charity Bamboo Banks Reach Over 60,000 Partner Stores Across Taiwan

Hundreds of Tzu Chi volunteers from across Taiwan gathered at the Jing Si Hall in Xindian for the “Charity Partner Store” fellowship event. Inspired by Tzu Chi’s humble bamboo bank spirit, this initiative has now expanded to over 60,000 participating stores nationwide, becoming symbols of compassion throughout local communities.

Volunteers walk into neighborhoods with sincerity and trust, sharing the belief that “even small change can create great goodness.” Each coin dropped into a bamboo bank gathers into a light that brightens every corner of society.

Tzu Chi Foundation CEO Yen Po-Wen emphasized that this milestone is more than just a number — it is a testament to how Dharma has taken root in people’s hearts, resonating with compassion and collective love.
