Locked on to Issues for Long-term Involvement

Acer Volunteer Teams have long encouraged our staff to get involved in charity service outside of work and to contribute their talents. Through volunteer activities, Acer nurtures the seeds of kindness in the hearts of our staff, helping them bloom by giving everyone the chance to contribute. Every employee of Acer enjoys two days of paid volunteer work each year.

Our volunteer teams have also created many opportunities to give back to the community through volunteer experiences, organizing a number of activities for both staff and their families to promote concepts of charity. Each year we organize and hold a variety of charitable activities, including:

• Helping Underprivileged Children:  For 14 years running, Acer has held an activity in which we collect Christmas gifts to be given to underprivileged children in Xizhi. Some of these children have been put in the care of the Social Welfare Department and the Taipei Orphan Welfare Foundation, and we invited our staff to offer up gifts at the end of the year to help light up these young people’s worlds at Christmas time and give them the courage to face the challenges ahead.
• Helping the Elderly:  In cooperation with the Old Five Old Foundation, the Acer Volunteer Team has worked over the past 11 years to deliver piping hot meals to residents in communities in Xizhi, Shenkeng, and Shiding for Chinese New Year, helping solo elderly people and disadvantaged families who may have long suffered from nutritional or mobility issues with some warmth for the festive season.
• Quarterly Blood Drives: Acer has held blood drives for 14 consecutive years, with three events held in 2021. Even during COVID-19, we encouraged our staff to donate blood to help patients in need. A total of 1,475 bags (250 cc/bag) were collected in 2021, while social enterprise goods were procured and sent to donors to promote the doing of good for society.
• Annual Fundraising Activities: Each year, Acer’s Volunteer Team selects five social welfare groups, launching small internal fundraising campaigns for these groups to help disadvantaged communities. In 2021, these donations reached a total of NT$982,500.
