The government requires the two major supermarkets to apply for the second phase of the "Ensure Employment" program to give back to the society. PARKnSHOP distributed $200 in cash food stamps per person to disadvantaged groups such as low-income families, the elderly and the disabled through 27 social welfare organizations. For more than 40 million yuan, the cooperative welfare agency directly assesses the needs of service targets.
