Cultivating Hope: Creating Employment for a New Chapter

As Taiwan rapidly transitioned into an aged society in 2018, the discussion on the elderly, especially their healthcare and retired life issue, has become a rising tide. Meanwhile, at the prospect of “not only relief, but also empowerment”, The Mustard Seed Mission has been assisting seniors with their second lives for a long time.

Nestled on Beipu Road in Hualien, the Dream 50+ Coffee nurtured several employees whose age are all above 50. Through the courses held by the organization, they have transformed into professional baristas and bakers, processing coffee bean delicately and crafting delectable desserts with their full heart. Moreover, they learnt skills of sewing, weaving, and creative design incorporating the beautiful traditional pattern of Taiwanese indigenous people. This initiative empowers the elder citizens in the communities to have the ability of financial independence.


In addition, the Dream 50+ Coffee provides emotional support. Lian, a server at the café, mentioned the pleasure she derives from interacting with customers and colleagues. When the seniors have joy and sense of accomplishment, their healthy physical and mental conditions are maintained, which is the very goal The Mustard Seed Mission. The Dream 50+ Coffee is a cozy place that provide job opportunities for the elderly, a chance to forge bonds, realize aspirations in the communities, and of course serve great coffee and sweets. We invite you to experience the warmth and enjoy the chill moment here with the lovely baristas and bakers!
