On November 22nd, it is the "Little Snow" solar term among the 24 solar terms. As the saying goes, "Each piece of jade is exquisite and beautiful, blooming in the cold." On that day, the "Charity Day Donation · Helping the Poor and Sending Warmth" event hosted by the Nanjing Charity Federation, Nanjing Radio and Television Group, and Qinhuai District Government made the donation scene surge with spring tide. To ensure that disadvantaged groups in Nanjing can have a stable and peaceful New Year's Day and Spring Festival this year, Nanjing has launched the 18th "Charity Day Donation" activity. Nanjing Deputy Mayor Hua Jing came to the event site and took the lead in donating. Leaders at all levels of the city, Qinhuai District government agencies, streets, troops, and enterprises actively responded, generously donating and enthusiastically donating. According to statistics, the total amount of funds, goods, and project donations received on site exceeded 7 million yuan.

The significance of this year's' Charity Day Donation 'is extraordinary

From November 20th to January 20th of the following year, the Nanjing Charity Federation advocates for units to voluntarily donate one day's profits and citizens to voluntarily donate one day's income through the "Charity Day Donation" activity.

Both organizations and individuals who donate can enjoy tax incentives and exemptions in accordance with the Charity Law, the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China, and the Individual Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China.

Since 2000, the Nanjing Charity Federation's Spring Festival distribution activities have provided practical assistance to vulnerable groups such as elderly people living alone in rural nursing homes, disadvantaged children, disabled people, and seriously ill patients. The "Charity Day Donation" campaign aims to mobilize social forces to dedicate love to the disadvantaged people in Nanjing, provide financial and material support for the Spring Festival distribution activities, and also inherit and promote the traditional virtues of poverty alleviation.

As Vice Mayor Huajing pointed out in his speech, this year's "Charity Day Donation" event has special significance. This year marks the beginning of the decisive stage of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects during the 13th Five Year Plan period, as well as the first year of the promulgation and implementation of the Charity Law. We must implement the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, combine charity work with winning the battle against poverty and building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, promote traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and practice socialist core values. We should guide, encourage, and support more units, organizations, and individuals to participate in activities, so that more disadvantaged groups can share the fruits of economic and social development and feel the warmth and care from all sectors of society. At the same time, she called on charitable organizations at all levels to properly manage and use the funds and materials raised, so that disadvantaged groups can effectively receive assistance, be responsible for the love of society, and persistently carry out the "Charity Day Donation" campaign, making it a beautiful charity brand in the city of universal love.

Red Sun, Sheng Qinghe donate 1 million each

Jiang Yong, Executive Deputy Secretary General of Nanjing Charity Federation, introduced that the "Charity Day Donation · Helping the Poor and Sending Warmth" activity is a large-scale charity donation activity innovated by Nanjing Charity Federation in 1999. It has now become a highlight and brand project of Nanjing's charity cause, and an important platform for all sectors of society to participate in charity and contribute love. In the 17 years since the event was launched, a total of over 430 million yuan has been raised in funds and materials, and more than one million people in need have been assisted. The "six assistance" projects, including assistance for education, elderly care, orphans, medical care, disability, and poverty alleviation, have been launched, winning praise from all sectors of society.

The "Red Sun" group just donated one billion yuan at the beginning of this year. During yesterday's one-day donation event, the company leaders raised a sign and donated one million yuan. In addition, Nanjing Shengqinghe Chemical Co., Ltd. also donated 1 million yuan in donations. The company's head, Wang Jinning, told reporters, "One company is diligent and frugal, and a hundred families spend money. Since its founding, the company has always insisted on supporting charitable causes, especially in helping disadvantaged children with education. We hope to enable more children in remote areas to afford books and education." The person in charge said that this year marks the 70th anniversary of the company's establishment, and the company hopes to pass on its love by participating in Nanjing's charitable causes, and hopes to use the donations to charity relief projects for disabled and vulnerable groups. Coincidentally, in September of this year, the "Democratic Alliance Shengqinghe Charity Fund" spontaneously established by members of the Qinhuai District Democratic Alliance held a plaque unveiling ceremony in Zhongshan Gate Community. This is the first charity fund established by the Nanjing Municipal Committee of the China Democratic Construction Association. This charity fund is voluntarily donated by Nanjing Shengqinghe Chemical Co., Ltd. and members of Minjian Qinhuai District. It is expected to donate 60000 to 150000 yuan annually for 10 consecutive years, totaling about 1 million yuan. The fund is mainly used for education assistance, poverty alleviation, disability assistance, natural disaster relief, and the civil construction project.

The reporter found that there were also many busy charity volunteers dressed in red vests at the "Charity Day Donation" site. Among them, Zhu Zhimou, a freshman from Nanjing Information Vocational and Technical School, told reporters that he learned through the school's Student Psychology Association that charitable volunteering is a particularly meaningful thing, so he volunteered to participate. Yesterday, a total of 31 students came to the school. He is mainly responsible for assisting in charity calligraphy and painting exhibitions, and his

experience as a charity volunteer has enriched his college life and helped others. He will continue to persist in doing so in the future.
The calligraphers and painters of Nanjing Dongci Calligraphy and Painting Academy donated carefully created calligraphy and painting works at the launch ceremony, and the actors of Nanjing Charity Art Troupe presented exciting and diverse cultural performances. Artists dedicate their love, spread charitable ideas, and promote new social trends in the form of art.

The community needs more love and assistance

Chen Haining is the secretary and director of Lianziying Community in Fuzimiao Street, with a smiling face that is particularly approachable. Chen Haining said that since 2009, when she became the director of Lianziying Community, she has been in contact with various groups such as low-income households, marginalized households, and disadvantaged households
I can't remember how many times I donated money. Every time school starts, she buys a backpack for children from disadvantaged families in the community, and gives them a cake on their birthdays. Although it doesn't cost much, she brings warmth and love to the children, making them feel particularly happy.

Not long ago, a child of a resident in the community passed away. The elderly person who suddenly lost her child cried and hugged her, saying, 'I can't live anymore. I feel like the sky is falling!'! Director Chen comforted her and said, 'It's okay, we're here!' Chen Haining said, a simple sentence, but it requires overcoming many difficulties to actually put it into practice. Fortunately, community residents are willing to lend a helping hand to those around them. After this year's Spring Festival, a child from a disadvantaged household who was attending junior high school suddenly developed leukemia, and there was a huge gap in hospitalization expenses. Everyone spontaneously donated and raised tens of thousands of yuan to be sent to the hospital, solving the urgent need. There is also an elderly man in his seventies in the community who drives people around him to do charity work, measures the blood pressure of neighbors, and delivers food. Under his leadership, many young people have also joined the ranks of charity.

Chen Haining said that some people say that our community directors are all worried about their lives, and they feel a little busy going to work and a little busy leaving work. Indeed, community work is a small matter, but it embodies the great love of our entire society. Community residents also support the "Charity Day Donation" and are willing to contribute their love to help those in need.

Like Chen Haining, there are many community directors who support charitable causes. Like Xuguangli Community in Qinhuai District, the party secretary and director of the community, Dai Yuecui, said that there are many enthusiastic units, private owners, community workers and individuals who support charitable causes in the community. They have actively participated in charity activities organized by the province and city for many years and insist on supporting impoverished families in the community. As Yajule Real Estate Company has donated multiple times in a row, they donated 5000 yuan on-site on yesterday's charity day. Some residents in the community are unemployed, and some are seriously ill. The community will actively help them. In addition, by normalizing charity as a public welfare activity, more entrepreneurs and caring individuals who have the ability to help others will inherit their love and build harmonious interpersonal relationships. Dai Yuecui said that there are many middle-aged and elderly people in the community who have suffered before but now have better living conditions. They believe it is their obligation and responsibility to help vulnerable groups.
