December 8, 2004, This is the first Charity Supermarket in Ji'nan, which is the first Charity Supermarket in Ji'nan to introduce the Charity Supermarket in Ji'nan. In August 17, 2005, the first Charity Supermarket center in Lixia District opened in Yanshan Street office, and first introduced the mode of market chain operation in the city. Since then, charitable supermarkets have mushroomed in Ji'nan, and now there are charity supermarkets in all districts and counties of Ji'nan.
but many years later, the development of charity supermarket has met with many problems. Yang Jinglan acknowledged that the charity supermarkets in Lixia District are in bad condition. At the time of the opening of the Charity Supermarket, the business area plus warehousing has more than 150 square meters, and now only half of it is left. The location of warehousing has become a small processing plant.
Ma Shuai, director of Social Affairs Section of Dian Liu Street office, has been in charge of the supermarket of the willow charity, and is very familiar with the development process of the supermarket. "At the beginning of the completion of the Charity Supermarket, the social donation was acceptable. At that time, the people were more enthusiastic and donated a lot of old clothes. Although the old clothes were sterilizing, there were few difficult families to buy." Marshal said that, at the most time, the warehouse was unable to flourishing. It was full and could not be converted to cash. It would also take some time to disinfect it and spend some money, because there was a period of scrapping. "At that time, no one wanted to be sent, and the clothes that made up very well were evaluated by the price department. Later, most of them were sold to migrant workers. " Ma Shuai told reporters that after that, the meadow charitable supermarket simply retained the rescue function, and now it is entirely dependent on the appropriation, not foreign business, how much money is given, how many items, how much money comes in. "Because the house is its own, the street will only pay a rent!"
[b] large scale "shrinking" management situation is not good overall [/b]
when talking about the development of the Charity Supermarket, Yang Jinglan said a joke, "this social change is too fast, today is advocated, it can not be decided tomorrow is perished!" they see To Ji'nan Charity Supermarket moved from Tianqiao District to Jianshe Road, re opened, the scene was very prosperous, is planning to bring people to learn in the near future. However, the Ji'nan Charity Federation has said that there are 19 charitable supermarkets in Ji'nan and districts and counties.
charity supermarket has been popularized as a new rescue model since December 2004. In 2006 and 2007, the charity supermarket was the most popular. At the most, the Ji'nan city and the district and county charitable supermarkets reached 36. Soon, however, the scene of prosperity was broken.
the head of the Ji'nan Charity Federation, the person in charge, said that when the city of Ji'nan was founded in 2004, it was early in China and enjoyed a certain reputation both inside and outside the province. In recent years, with the increase of large and small supermarkets in the urban area, the bottleneck of the industry has also come. At present, the city's charity supermarket has shrunk from the original 36 to 19 now, and it can not lose money, even if it is in good condition. "Even the Charity Supermarket in Ji'nan is not very good at present, but the house is the Civil Affairs Bureau itself, and the cost is small, so it can maintain normal operation. Although the two opening of the relocation, but because in a yard, no street, do not know a lot of people.
it is understood that these 19 charitable supermarkets are divided into three kinds of situations: a few supermarket routes are in good condition. In addition to the cost of the electricity and rent needed for the supermarket itself, the surplus can be used to extend the scope of assistance to the special families. All the charity supermarkets are directly attached to the supermarket. All the costs are paid by the charitable department to the supermarket in advance. The rescued families only need to hold the salvage card to the supermarket to receive the daily items. Because of their flexibility, convenience and rich species, they are widely welcomed by the public.
"the main reason is that the social donation is insufficient, the enterprise donate less, although the ordinary citizen is active, but the kind of donation is relatively single, most of them are old clothes and waste appliances, and they are basically not used." The man said.
[b] foreign aid model encountered "ineffective"? [/b]
Charity Supermarket assistance model is introduced from the United States, at the beginning is to build a rescue and change of the platform, so that ordinary citizens more convenient to offer love. But now, the Charity Supermarket is more of the government's support, with little profit. Although many charity supermarkets are hanging a "no profit" sign, how far can the charity aid completely rely on government subsidies?
Yang Jinglan told reporters that charity supermarkets in the United States were compared. Simply, all the items are donated by the citizens and the money is converted to charity. But after the introduction of this model to Ji'nan, some changes have taken place with the local reality. On the one hand, the charity supermarket has the function of rescuing the difficult families, and the rescued residents can take the rescue card to the supermarket to get the goods. Rescue platform. At the same time, the charity supermarket also set up a donation platform to receive donations from enthusiastic citizens. Take the charitable supermarket, for example, no longer accept the donation after the old clothes are difficult to increase the cost, "because there is no disinfection facilities, the Chinese do not like other people's clothes, and now no one is clothed because of poverty!" the Charity Supermarket's donation change function slowly weakens. .
the head of the Ji'nan philanthropic Association said that there are three types of charitable supermarkets in Ji'nan, one is the pure aid model, one is a mixed type, and the other is the mode of operation. One is pure market operation, and a special area is set up relying on a shopping mall. "Most charitable supermarkets open to ordinary customers and earn far less profits than ordinary supermarkets for the purchase of goods, but with little customers and little effect. At present, a lot of ordinary supermarkets, fierce competition, Charity Supermarket location and other than ordinary supermarkets, not competitive! "
[b] expert: Charity Supermarket [/b]
Charity Supermarket in China, after crossing the ocean to China, encountered" ineffective ", then what is the reason for its digestion Bad? Wang Chunyan, director of Social Work Department of University of Jinan law school, said, "I think it is still a problem of charity environment. In foreign countries, because of the influence of national system and religious belief, charity is very popular with the enterprises and the public, and even become a kind of self-conscious behavior. But domestic people can't think of charity as an act that must be done. As the saying goes, money, power, charity should be a proactive behavior, how far can it go by government support? "
the head of an enterprise once complained to reporters that there are so many social fundraising activities, as long as there are any big events. The fundraisers will find enterprises and hope that they can donate money and donations. But are those donations really used in charity? Are they really used to help those poor groups? This person in charge is full of distrust of charities.
Wang Chunyan analysis believes that it is this kind of charity environment and charitable way that makes many people's charitable behavior become passive. When many people are "donated" or "donated", it is easy to create a conflict of mind. The public's distrust of charities and the crisis of trust in charitable organizations are fatal to the charity environment. Without the support of the public, the charity supermarket will not have the source of living water.
