My goal is to serve everyone’s needs, says Pan Xiaomin

Over the past couple months, volunteer dispatchers have received nearly 5,000 requests, so an eight-person team of Jiading science and technology commission was set up to address them.

As the “first leg,” Pan Xiaomin sorted out dispatch information from 12 communities and towns.

“I keep track of things like people’s food supplies, medications and diapers and pass the information along to each community where volunteers assess the urgency of requests and make deliveries accordingly,” said Pan.

A woman surnamed Su underwent breast cancer surgery and chemotherapy in February. She does not have much money and was running low on food.

“The village committee helped me buy fruit and eggs to increase my intake of protein and vitamins, which brightened my mood and aided my recuperation,” Su said.

The village committee also helped a truck driver surnamed Zhang while he was stranded in Waigang Town. Like many others, he was living on nothing but instant noodles.

“It was truly difficult for me. Fortunately, the village committee quickly purchased supplies for me and other stranded drivers,” Zhang said.

As of June 1, the team had served almost 900 households that were low on food, and more than 1,000 residents who were running out of medications. More than 250 emergency and 4,600 general calls were received, all of which were responded and solved.
