Company donates themal shirts to social workers and rescuers
2025-11-19
As winter arrives, falling temperatures affect rescue personnel and social workers who often have to brave the cold to help those in need. A major clothing brand partnered with the Ministry of Health and Ministry of the Interior to donate 15,000 thermal shirts to these unsung heroes.
The Minister of Health and Welfare accepts a thermal shirt, one of 15,000 that a famous clothing company donated to social workers and rescue personnel to help them continue their brave work, even in the cold winter.
Hsu Chiao-sheng
Search-and-rescue team leader
Our usual missions involve flying from sea level to mountains over 3,000m high. When the temperature drops too fast, our bodies lose heat, and our hands and feet get cold. This makes it hard to do our jobs, because our movements become stiff and sluggish.
Whether these first responders are flying to mountains or foreign countries, if they can’t stay warm in the cold, they can’t do their job as efficiently. Taiwan is lucky to have around 20,000 social workers and 5,000 search-and-rescue personnel, but only 15,000 thermal shirts were donated.
Shih Chung-liang
Minister of Health and Welfare
It’s terrible. We only have 15,000 shirts, but 20,000 social workers. Suddenly it seems like these numbers don’t match up. We have 20,000 social workers and I hope that all of them will get a shirt. If there aren’t enough, we’ll buy more.
Wu Tang-an
Deputy Minister of the Interior
I remember that we also have community volunteers. I’ll check the numbers when I go back and report back to you.
To provide the best support for social workers and rescuers, it’s important that all of them can stay warm. This clothing company wants to make that happen.
Pan Yu-lin
Overseas marketing manager
As soon as we heard the minister raise this request, we immediately spoke with our COO in Taiwan. We will do our best when we get back, and I really hope that we can provide 5,000 more shirts for other social workers who need them.
Through this donation, the ministry and clothing company hope that first responders can stay warm during their missions in the cold winter months. Clothing is not just something to wear, but a symbol of care and support for the community.

寒冬送暖! 服飾品牌捐1.5萬件"發熱衣" 致敬社工.特搜人員
2025-11-19
進入到冬天，社工人員出勤訪視，或是特搜隊隊員們外出救援，如果碰上寒冷天氣，都可能因此受影響。全球知名服飾品牌，和衛福部、內政部合作，捐贈一萬五千件吸濕發熱衣，要送給社工和特種搜救隊員，向這群無名英雄致敬。
親自接下發熱衣，為寒冬的搜救做好準備。知名服飾品牌，特別捐贈一萬五千件吸濕發熱衣，給全台社工，以及特種搜救隊，致敬所有英雄。
[[消防署特種搜救隊科長 許僑聲]]
“我們平常的任務就是從平地，飛到三千公尺以上的高山。急速（降溫）當下會遇到一些，比如說溫度失溫的狀況，或者手腳冰冷，手腳冰冷說實在要搜救，不好搜救，動作就會卡卡的這樣。”
不論是高山上的低溫，或是遠赴國外救援，遇上寒冷天氣，搜救隊員身體如果不保暖，那麼效率勢必加減受影響。只是根據統計，全台社工約有兩萬名，消防署搜救隊也有五千多名，這發熱衣數量，好像有點不足。

“欸糟糕我們只有一萬五千件，我們有兩萬名社工，突然發現數字兜不起來，我們有兩萬名社工，我好希望他們每人都有一件，如果不夠的我們來買。”
[[內政部次長 吳堂安]]
“我記得我們還有志工、義工，我回去盤點之後，再私下跟您報告。”
畢竟要作為社工人員和搜救人員最有力的後盾，安全溫暖的環境必須營造，但服飾品牌也聽見聲音。
[[服飾品牌海外行銷資深經理 潘御琳]]
“我們剛剛一聽到部長提出來的這個需求，馬上就跟台灣營運長討論，我們回去會積極的爭取，真的希望能夠把這五千件盡快補上，送給其他需要的社工人員。”
持續深耕在地，讓每一次寒冬中的出勤都能增添溫暖，也讓服裝不只是穿著，更是一份關懷延續。
