At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, warm sending activities are being carried out vigorously across the country. The central government requires leading cadres at all levels to go deep into the grassroots level in accordance with the requirements of "three stricts and three practicals", identify the needs of the masses in condolences, provide assistance and relief, and deliver the care and warmth of the Party and the government to the hearts of impoverished people.

Subsidies vary with prices, on-site visits to ensure implementation

As the Spring Festival approaches, the Department of Civil Affairs of Jiangsu Province, in conjunction with the Department of Finance, has allocated a special fund of 210 million yuan to provide subsidies to five categories of disadvantaged groups, including urban and rural subsistence allowance recipients, rural five guarantee recipients, special care recipients who enjoy pensions and subsidies, urban "three no" elderly people, orphans, etc., at a rate of 100 yuan per person. It is planned to distribute all the subsidies before the Spring Festival, benefiting more than 2.1 million urban and rural disadvantaged groups. During on-site visits and condolences, we will also focus on supervising the implementation of social assistance policies.

Since December 25th last year, Beipiao City in Liaoning Province has launched a "Sending Warmth and Offering Love" social donation and visiting activities throughout the city. At present, the donation amount is about 1.57 million yuan, and leaders at all levels have visited about 1200 impoverished households in urban and rural areas, with a total of 2.3 million yuan in condolence funds and goods.

Jiangsu Province also combines the changes in prices with the distribution of subsidies to urban and rural disadvantaged groups, adjusting the subsidy standards according to the magnitude of price increases to ensure that the lives of disadvantaged groups during holidays are not greatly affected by price increases.

Employment assistance provides technology, combined with practical implementation to achieve practical results

Wang Huiqin, a laid-off worker living in Pangzhuang Street Office, Quanshan District, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, just received a "holiday gift": through the community employment information management system, she has achieved re employment right at her doorstep.

Only by doing practical things and delivering warmth can there be "heat". Quanshan District, based on its own reality, has made efforts to address livelihood issues such as employment, medical treatment, and housing that are of concern to the masses. For unemployed people, Quanshan District has established a "point-to-point" employment platform to achieve dynamic "two-way docking"; Establishing "family beds" in 14 community health service centers to eliminate the high cost of medical treatment for patients from impoverished families; We continued to implement the shantytown renovation project and carried out comprehensive renovation of 56 old residential areas.

Recently, Feng Shubao, an elderly resident in Dashanjiazi Town, Beipiao City, was unusually lively. More than 30 jujube farmers from all over the world are listening to experts give a special lecture on jujube pruning and low planting techniques. This is a targeted technology promotion activity for animal breeding and planting carried out by Beipiao City during farmers' leisure time.

Insufficient cultural outreach to rural areas, mobilizing the masses to take the lead

In Beipiao City, the "Entering the Countryside, Entering the Community, Entering the Campus, Entering the Factory, Entering the Military Camp" five entry cultural welfare activities are currently underway in 2016. The cultural department goes deep into remote rural areas to send plays to the countryside and perform traditional Pingju that farmers love; Organize a film screening team to show movies at the doorstep of farmers' homes; Deliver books to community libraries; Organize cultural center business personnel to go deep into rural cultural centers and households, and provide guidance to cultural centers in carrying out cultural performances organized by farmers themselves; At the same time, urban and rural residents in the city spontaneously formed multiple yangko and fitness teams, and sang, danced, and laughed loudly in cultural squares and cultural courtyards.

In Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, a 65 year old Mongolian man named Nashun Deliger has been very busy lately. As the Spring Festival approaches, as a member of the Gardener Community Calligraphy and Painting Association, he will write hundreds of couplets for the entire community. The Calligraphy and Painting Association was established spontaneously by us, with the venue and equipment provided by the community. The association has professional calligraphy instructors, "the old man said with a smile.

In previous years, street and community cadres often organized cultural and sports activities at the end of the year, and we ordinary people often felt like we were being pulled away to 'fill our heads'. This year, there are many activity projects, and there is specialized association guidance. We residents organize and participate ourselves, which is particularly lively! "Said Qi Yuxia from the Yangge Dance team.
