"In fact, in recent years even orphanages have had a surplus of clothes," says a volunteer at the Tachikai Charity Center. This is because there are just so many old clothes, and when they are added to the regular donations given by Taiwan's advanced textiles industry, charity organizations have difficulties digesting them.
「事實上，近年來連孤兒院也衣物過剩」，大乞丐慈善中心一位義工表示，由於舊衣量過大，加上台灣紡織工業發達，許多成衣工廠定期將存貨捐給慈善機構，已令他們難以消化。
