Since 2018, the Uni-President Social Welfare and Charity Foundation have been following the Long Term Care 2.0 program initiated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. To improve the care of low-income households and the elderly living by themselves in rural communities, we work with community care centers to promote a meal sharing program for the elderly to encourage the elderly to go outdoors and actively participate in community activities, so that the elderly can maintain an active lifestyle and achieve a fulfilling and prosperous old age. After effectively improving their physical and mental health, we further reduce the burden on the social economy and medical environment. A total of NT$2,400,000 was invested in 2024 to implement the program at 30 community care centers, and 1,439 seniors benefited.

In addition, we are also committed to providing the elderly with richer, tastier, more nutritious and healthier dishes. To achieve this goal, we regularly invite chefs from Uni-President to hold culinary education and observation activities. In 2024, two such events were held. One event was attended by nearly 50 community volunteers, who enhanced their knowledge of nutrition and cooking skills. The event attracted approximately 150 participants and contributed to improving the health and well-being of local senior residents. The second event focused on the theme of “New Era Dietary Perspectives” and included preventive healthcare sessions. Dr. Hwei-Ming Wang, a gut health expert, was invited to educate elderly participants on intestinal microbiota and healthy eating habits. Simultaneously, a plant-based cooking workshop was organized for 30 Community Canteens for the Elderly to promote plant-based diets, which help reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome and support environmental sustainability.
