Food saving is an important action to reduce carbon emissions and protect the Earth. The school and the public office's actions make the 'bread of love' more meaningful.

To prevent waste, the school partnered with the Guishan District Office to distribute the baked goods to disadvantaged families and social welfare organizations. Guishan District Chief Chang Chia-ping highlighted the importance of reducing food waste as a way to protect the planet. He stated that the "bread of love" would be given to elderly individuals living alone, low-income families, the Huashan Social Welfare Foundation, and the Liangyi Laundry Social Enterprise.

This marks the second year of the "Baking Warmth, Spreading Love" public welfare donation event. School principal Chen Kun-yu noted that students feel happy to contribute to charity while avoiding food waste. All baked items were prepared and packaged according to food hygiene standards and professionally inspected for safety and quality.
