Têt Nguyên Ðán, commonly known as Tét, is the most meaningful celebration in Vietnamese culture–a time when families come together to welcome the new year with hope, gratitude, and renewal. Rooted in traditions of generosity and togetherness, the season also serves as a reminder to uplift those in need.
In the spirit of Tét, Aboitiz Foods, through Gold Coin Vietnam, launched a series of community initiatives nationwide—bringing joy, relief, and support to vulnerable students and families in Binh Duong, Binh Giang, and the Hue region. These efforts reflect the company’s continued commitment to nourishing the future by empowering communities through education and opportunity.
Nourishing Students in Ho Chi Minh City
In the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Gold Coin Feedmill Binh Duong Co., Ltd. partnered with the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health & Social Work Center and the Binh Duong Children’s Protection Fund to support children facing significant life challenges.
With a total contribution of VND 40,000,000 (approximately USD 1,500), the initiative supported 50 children, including children with disabilities, visually impaired students, orphans, and children affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The assistance was distributed across two communities: 25 children from Tan Dong Hiep Ward, and 25 from Dong Hoa Ward.
Each child received a Tét gift package valued at VND 800,000, providing both financial support and a sense of celebration during the holiday season. Beyond material aid, the initiative aimed to bring warmth and encouragement, ensuring that no child feels left behind during this important time of year.
Extending Support to Families in the Central Region
Further north, Gold Coin Vietnam Hai Duong expanded its efforts to support low-income households in Vietnam’s Central Region. In partnership with the local Red Cross, the program supplied essential goods and financial assistance to 40 disadvantaged families, helping them prepare for the country’s most important holiday.
With a total assistance budget of VND 43,000,000 (approximately USD 1,600), the initiative enabled families to celebrate Tét–offering not just resources, but reassurance and hope for the year ahead.
Continuing its grassroots efforts, Gold Coin Vietnam Hai Duong also organized a localized initiative in Binh Giang Commune, supporting 20 disadvantaged households. Working closely with local authorities and the Red Cross, the program delivered Tét care packages totaling VND 16,120,000.
This initiative focused on providing immediate relief while fostering a sense of inclusion, ensuring that even the most vulnerable families could welcome the new year with warmth and optimism.
A Shared Commitment to Nourish the Future
Across all initiatives, Aboitiz Foods continued to stand alongside its communities during Tét— supporting students, families, and underserved communities during an important season of renewal. These efforts went beyond providing assistance, helping create meaningful moments of connection, and reinforcing the spirit of care and togetherness that defines the season.
