除了運送家庭和孩童所需物資外，本協會希望藉由這趟旅程，小朋友除了得到禮物，更可以感受到這個節日的精神－花時間齊聚一堂，喝杯熱可可，彼此陪伴。

This is in addition to the Gift & Necessities Drive for families and children as we hope those who participate as recipients in the drive can also feel that the holidays are about spending time together over a cup of hot cocoa and not simply about receiving gifts. Check out more information above our our Music Jam!

基本上工作坊是整天的, 因此我們一定要提供營養可口的餐點給小朋友們,我們也很樂意這麼做。 我們會提供以蔬果為主的食物以及一些低卡的點心和一杯熱可可。小型的工作坊(關愛之家) 會示範或是教他們現場製做以節慶為主題的點心。譬如薑餅人或是焦糖蘋果片。本些會希望每一次的工作坊中，我們都能夠提供高品質的食材。

Workshops are generally a full day so we must provide hot nutritious food for children, which we are more than happy to do. Plant-based creations are made along with light snacks and a cup of hot cocoa. Kids will also have a hand in making their own vegan sweets such as decorating gingerbread people, oatmeal raisin cookies, or caramel apple slices. With each workshop and each year we are aiming to provide even high quality ingredients for meals.

本協會將為每個家庭提供有機當地蔬果食材、毛毯、冬衣、鞋子及給孩子的小禮物，每戶的平均預算估計約為5000 元台幣。

*我們將請桃山國小及當地教會協助提供需要協助的家庭名單，並將禮物親自配送至每個家庭。
*大約60％～70％的預算會用在採買蔬菜罐頭與乾糧上。
*去年我們與「直接跟農夫買」合作，向更多當地小農購買新鮮食材。
*有機稻米則將與花蓮的「友善態度自然農園」中的小農們訂購。其他新鮮蔬果與罐頭則於當地純素商店採買。
*因桂格燕麥片近日出現問題，本協會將改用RUNIVORE無農藥麥片。該公司一直以來也都是嚮光協會的強力支持者

Families and children that are part of the yearly gift & necessities drive will obtain much needed items for their household in addition to the creation workshop session in January. For each family we estimate a cost of approximately $200 USD (5,000-6,000NTD), this has included items such as organic local foods, fresh fruits, blankets, warm clothes, shoes, and a small gift for children.

• Delivery is to individual families as we work with TaoShan Elementary School and the local church for the recipient list.
• Approximately 60-70% of the budget will be purchasing non-perishable plant-based foods
• Last year we worked with Buy Directly From Farmers直接跟農夫買社 and this year will outreach to more local farmers and vegan businesses.
• This year we are sourcing local organic rice from Hualien farmers from HuaLian Friendly Farm and fresh made and jarred items from local vegan stores
• We have sourced pesticide free oats from RUNIVORE who has been a solid partner and supporter of Bright Side Projects endeavors.

大家喜歡都便捷—但要把物資送到需要的人手中，這往往是件難事。協會與志工主要都在台北，雖在各地點都有認識的當地人，但因為大多數的人力與資源都集中於台北本部，我們需要將這些資源分類，才能送達各地。

從台北到－

桃園: 搭乘大眾運輸系統單程約2小時。開車單程45分鐘。
苗栗：搭乘大眾運輸系統單程約2.5小時，開車單程1.5小時
清泉: 搭乘大眾運輸系統單程約4小時，開車單程2.5小時
台中: 搭乘大眾運輸系統單程約2.5小時，開車單程2小時
台東: 搭乘大眾運輸系統單程約4.5小時，開車單程7小時

光是蘭嶼的交通費，船票要美金＄72元 , 機票美金＄90元。若6位志工前往便需美金＄500元。本協會將替核心幹部支出此費用，但有些團隊成員則需自己負擔此費用。許多大朋友為了參加本活動，除了須請假外，更是無償志工。若是再加上開車至桃園以及兩次到清泉 (一次都出2—3台車)，每次的油資及過路費用，所有為了收集物資過程中的產生運費，$1,200元是很保守的估算，雖然可能無法全額支付所需費用，但我們仍舊非常感謝您的支持。

People like the idea of convenience – but getting items to where those who may benefit from the resources is not always about that. Our core group is based in Taipei and we have on-site locals in each of the locations. But with many of our talents and resources prepped at our base, we need to sort and get them out.

From Taipei to–>

Taoyuan: by public transport 2 hours each way / by personal vehicle 45 minutes each way
ChingChuan: by public transport 4 hours each way / by personal vehicle 2.5 hours each way
Taitung: by public transport 4.5 hours each way / by personal vehicle 7 hours each way
Orchid Island: by public transport 9 hours each way / by personal transport 12 hours each way (ferry is 3.5 hours, flight is 20 minutes)

Just for Orchid Island the cost for the ferry is approximately $72 USD, airfare $90 USD. For team of six costs approximately $500. Driving down will be about $155 per vehicle with gasoline and tolls – but split into two cars as we also pack equipment and different time schedules. In addition there are 1-2 people who will take the train down. They are taking 8 days off work and will be receiving no pay for their participation in this event.

If we add in the drives out to Taoyuan and twice to ChingChuan with 2-3 cars each time gasoline and toll fees, logistics of purchasing and gathering items before the event, $1,200 is a very conservative budget that might not cover what we need to the full extent but we would really appreciate your support on this.
