On July 16th, 2023, the charity store jointly opened by Da Ai Yi Warehouse and Io Bank China was officially opened in Houhaihui, Shenzhen. The charity store project was initiated in July 2022 by Ms. Chen Minnuo. With the public welfare concept of "recycling things, letting love flow", passing on love, helping the sustainable development of public welfare, and letting love take over, WEG Vigilance Art also formally cooperated with Da Ai Yi Warehouse, using art to help charity.

What is a charity store?

If you've never been to a charity store before, you may be confused as to how a 'charity', which often revolves around giving, and a 'store', which aims to make a profit, fit together.

A charity store began in the United Kingdom as a store that accepts donations of unused items and processes and sells used items. The proceeds from the sales are often donated to those in need, in addition to covering the cost of running the store. Not only do charity stores help spread goodwill, they are also a great way to recycle unused items locally, thus reducing waste and emissions.

Da Ai Warehouse is now launching the Big Bag for Small Bag charity program to the public. The so-called "big bag" is the unused luxury bags donated by caring people, and these "big bags" will be sold in the charity store and exchanged for the corresponding number of "small bags", which are worth These "big bags" will be sold in the charity shop and exchanged for a corresponding number of "small bags", that is, safety bags for the elderly or sanitary bags for girls valued at 521 yuan.

We hope to help the needy elderly living alone and girls in mountainous areas through this charity program. Each bag for the elderly contains daily necessities such as crutches and wheelchairs, and the staff will also install bathroom handrails and toilets for the elderly, so as to protect the elderly against falls in all aspects. In the hygiene kit for each mountain girl, there is a sufficient amount of sanitary napkins, washing and care soap and other hygiene products, combined with a series of puberty courses and accompaniment and care activities to help girls in difficult situations to grow up healthily, confidently and self-lovingly.

WEG Vigilante Art also takes this opportunity to support the Big Love Warehouse charity through art.

We have selected a series of artists' prints and art derivatives to be presented at the Big Love Warehouse. At the same time, part of the profits generated from the sale of these artworks will be used to support the above charity programs and donated to the needy.

Simon Cheng, the founder of WEG, has been continuously carrying out art charity activities in the hope of "bringing art to life" and using the power of art to help people in need to lead a better life. We also hope that as a platform, WEG will be able to make more efforts and contributions to charitable causes in the future.
