Underprevileged families in Thuong Tin Commune receive their Tet gifts.
On February 5, in Thuong Tin Commune, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hanoi organized the "Compassionate Spring, Sharing Tet" program on the occasion of the 2026 Lunar New Year of the Horse.
Speaking at the program, Standing Vice Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hanoi Tran Thi Phuong Hoa said the 14th National Party Congress clearly defined visions, goals, tasks and strategic breakthroughs, with a central focus on people-centered development and continuous improvement of living standards.
Fully embracing that spirit, Hanoi has consistently identified social welfare and care for people's livelihoods not only as political responsibilities but also as vivid expressions of the system's strengths and a solid foundation for strengthening public trust in the Party, State and authorities at all levels.
On the occasion of the 2026 Tet, Hanoi allocated more than VND567 billion (US$21.8 million) to provide over one million gift packages to policy beneficiary families, people with meritorious service, near-poor households, social assistance beneficiaries and workers facing exceptional hardship.

Alongside this, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hanoi and its member organizations across the city continue mobilizing social contributions, with plans to distribute 178,165 gift packages worth nearly VND130 billion ($5 million), under the principle that every person and every household celebrates Tet.
The city's Fatherland Front Committee alone will deliver 5,980 gift packages worth more than VND6.22 billion ($239,700).
For Thuong Tin Commune, the Central Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hanoi and city-level socio-political organizations presented 200 gift packages worth more than VND300 million ($11,560) to elderly residents, near-poor households, disadvantaged families and members facing hardship.
"With joint efforts from the central, city and local levels, each family will welcome Tet more warmly and fully, creating new momentum to enter 2026 with confidence, determination and renewed spirit," Hoa said.
Expressing his thanks to the Central Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hanoi for their support, Party Secretary and Chairman of the People's Council of Thuong Tin Commune Nguyen Xuan Minh said the commune Fatherland Front Committee also presented 100 gift packages and provided 300 shopping vouchers worth VND300,000 ($11.56) each, totaling VND90 million ($3,500), to disadvantaged residents.

Though modest in material value, the gifts reflect community care, responsibility and solidarity with near-poor and disadvantaged households, offering meaningful encouragement for a warmer and fuller Tet.
At the program, organizers directly presented Tet gifts to 15 exemplary elderly residents, 20 near-poor households, 20 disadvantaged women's union and veterans' association members, and 30 disadvantaged farmers, workers and youth union members. The commune also delivered gifts directly to 20 disadvantaged households.
Beyond gift-giving, the program featured meaningful activities such as making banh chung and organizing "zero-cost stalls" offering hundreds of essential Tet items.
Through shopping vouchers, residents could choose items suited to their needs, fostering a warm, respectful and inclusive Tet atmosphere.
