Social service work is also an option for public-spirited housewives; Hsu Yu-po, for instance, who lives near the Natural Science Museum, spends half of each day there as a volunteer guide. There are even those who appreciate Taichung's lifestyle so much that they keep their homes there even though they work in Taipei or Kaohsiung, returning to Taichung at weekends.
有心的家庭主婦還會想辦法做些社會服務工作，如正好住在自然科學博物館附近的徐玉珀，每天便利用半天時間到科博館當義工，負責為遊客解說。看準台中的雅適生活，甚至有不少人雖到台北、高雄上班，仍願意把家安置在台中，每星期回台中過周末。
