In their great council at Amaurot, to which there are three sent from every town once a year, they examine what towns abound in provisions and what are under any scarcity, that so the one may be furnished from the other; and this is done freely, without any sort of exchange; for, according to their plenty or scarcity, they supply or are supplied from one another, so that indeed the whole island is, as it were, one family. The central idea of this excerpt is that Utopians make a regular effort to care for those in need.

The central idea in this excerpt, is certainly, that Utopians live in a way they distribute efficiently their resources so there is always a way to satisfy different towns's needs, actually, Utopians when there is surplus, they give it for free to foreign people bringing back gold an silver to the island, so in some way, this is a community living like a household, caring for all the members of the community.
