A charity foundation established by Jiangsu Times Textile Technology Co, which is located in Rugao Economic and Technological Development Zone in Rugao, Nantong, East China's Jiangsu province, has provided consistent financial support and loving care to underprivileged children for many years.

The foundation was formed in 2009 with a donation of 2 million yuan (around $308,000) from the company. It was the first private foundation in Nantong and has offered aid to a total of 109 children as of this year.

In addition to financial assistance, the foundation organizes a variety of activities on a regular basis to give the kids emotional support. A group of volunteers, also called "loving moms", are selected from employees at the company and will take a paid day off to visit schools and homes of the children in need every month.

The foundation also holds family activities regularly, as well as organizes volunteers and kids to travel during Children's Day and summer holidays. They have been to many tourist attractions, including Shanghai Disneyland.
