2024 Winter 暖冬盲盒計畫：用愛心溫暖新竹的寒冬 Warm Winter Blind Box Project: Bringing Love and Warmth to Hsinchu During Winter

冬天，對資源有限家庭來說，是一場無聲的考驗。寒冷的空氣無孔不入，而食物短缺更為他們的生活增添挑戰。在這樣的環境下，每一份關懷都顯得格外珍貴。

Winter is a silent challenge for resource-limited families. The cold air seeps into every corner, and food shortages add to their daily struggles. In such circumstances, every act of kindness becomes incredibly precious.

12月26日，人安基金會攜手新竹愛心小隊，於新竹舉辦了一場特別的活動——暖冬盲盒計畫。這不僅僅是一個發放物資的行動，更是一場心靈相連的聚會。

On December 26, the Homeless Taiwan Foundation collaborated with the Hsinchu Love Squad to host a special event—the Warm Winter Blind Box Project. This was more than just a material aid initiative; it was a heartfelt gathering.

資源有限家庭的挑戰：我們看不見的日常The Challenges of Resource-Limited Families: A Reality We Don’t See

資源有限家庭的生活往往是我們難以想像的。他們每天需要面對的，不僅僅是生理的飢餓與寒冷，更有社會的冷漠與孤立。根據相關研究，寒冬時節低收入戶的健康風險顯著提高，尤其是因為低溫引發的健康問題如凍瘡或心血管疾病。這也是為什麼暖冬行動在冬季中格外重要。

The lives of resource-limited families are often beyond our imagination. They face not only physical hunger and cold but also social indifference and isolation. Studies show that health risks for low-income households increase significantly in winter, especially due to cold-related health issues such as frostbite or cardiovascular diseases. This is why warm winter initiatives are especially critical.

暖冬盲盒計畫：不只是物資的援助The Warm Winter Blind Box Project: More Than Just Material Assistance

這次活動中，新竹平安站的洪懿均站長篩選了80個資源有限家庭參與活動。活動當天，志工們親手準備的便當為家庭成員提供了一頓飽餐，讓他們感受到來自社會的溫暖與關愛。而新竹愛心小隊更是精心製作了80個盲盒，這些盲盒不僅象徵著驚喜，更是一種無言的心意傳遞。

For this event, Director Hong Yijun of the Hsinchu Peace Station selected 80 resource-limited families to participate. On the day of the event, volunteers prepared meals by hand, providing family members with a hearty meal and a sense of warmth and care from society. The Hsinchu Love Squad also created 80 meticulously crafted blind boxes, which symbolized not only surprise but also a heartfelt gesture.

什麼是盲盒What is a Blind Box?

盲盒源自一種流行的概念，帶有未知內容的禮盒。透過這些盲盒，資源有限家庭體驗到了期待與驚喜。這種設計不僅是物資的分發，更多了一份情感上的交流，讓他們感覺自己也是被關注、被重視的。

A blind box is a trendy concept involving gift boxes with unknown contents. Through these boxes, resource-limited families experienced moments of anticipation and joy. This design transcends the mere distribution of materials; it fosters emotional connection, making them feel seen and valued.

志工與參與家庭的暖心互動Heartwarming Interactions Between Volunteers and Participant Families

當天，9位來自新竹的學生志工參與其中，由President Daniel Chi 以及 Vice President Catherine Chung 帶領，他們與參與家庭共同創造了難忘的回憶。志工的參與，不僅僅是提供勞力，而是一種陪伴。他們用真誠的笑容和熱情的交流，讓資源有限家庭感受到來自社會各個角落的支持與關懷。

On the day of the event, nine student volunteers from Hsinchu participated under the leadership of team President Daniel Chi and  Vice President Catherine Chung. Together, they created unforgettable memories with the participating families. The volunteers’ involvement went beyond providing labor; it was an act of companionship. Their sincere smiles and warm conversations made resource-limited families feel supported and cared for by all corners of society.

從支持到改變：活動的意義From Support to Change: The Significance of This Initiative

暖冬盲盒計畫的意義不僅在於短暫的幫助，更是一種傳遞希望的行動。這次活動提醒我們，資源有限家庭並非與社會脫節的存在，他們也是社會的一部分。而我們的每一份付出，都能成為他們生活中的一束光。

The significance of the Warm Winter Blind Box Project lies not only in its immediate aid but also in its message of hope. This event reminds us that resource-limited families are not detached from society; they are an integral part of it. Every effort we make can become a beacon of light in their lives.

人安基金會的努力，不僅僅止於物質援助，更在於喚起大眾對資源有限家庭問題的關注。透過每一個暖冬活動，我們都希望在社會中播撒更多的同理心，讓愛的種子在寒冬中發芽。

The efforts of the Homeless Taiwan Foundation go beyond material aid; they aim to raise public awareness about issues faced by resource-limited families. Through each warm winter initiative, we hope to sow seeds of empathy in society, allowing the seeds of love to bloom even in the coldest winters.
