The food company, which owns various brands such as the instant noodle maker Master Kong, Wei-Chuan Food Corporation and Dicos, plans to deliver food materials to about 800 families in Tianzhen county, Huiyuan county and Yanggao County, particularly to single elderly people who live alone. Meanwhile, Ting Hsin also has offered scholarships to nearly 100 students from poverty-stricken families with about 400,000 yuan in scholarships over a four-year period.
