[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Go Dallyoung] The Jinangun Volunteer Center (Chairman Kim Yongjin) announced on the 7th that on the 6th, it carried out the 5th COVID-19 crisis response project, a joint side dish volunteer service, providing side dishes to 500 elderly people aged 75 and over in 1 eup and 6 myeon areas to offer psychological quarantine as well as to alleviate nutritional deficiencies.

The joint side dish volunteer service, held at the Jucheon-myeon Resident Autonomy Center kitchen and other locations, was a collaborative effort of volunteer groups from Jucheon-myeon, Seongsu-myeon, Maryeong-myeon, Bugwi-myeon, Baegun-myeon, and Jeongcheon-myeon, along with the Jinangun 114 Wave Volunteer Group, Jinan Ssang Volunteer Service Group, Jinan Dongbu Saemaeul Geumgo Volunteer Group, and Jinan Women's Volunteer Fire Brigade. Jeonju Briquette Bank and Jeonbuk Volunteer Center supported the effort by providing a mobile meal truck and donating supplies.

This project was selected through a public contest by the Jeollabuk-do Volunteer Center (Chairman Kim Gwangho), providing volunteers with an opportunity to directly participate in solving community issues and practicing neighborly love through volunteer work.

Center Director Choi Mija said, “I hope that the elderly in the community, who are enduring many restrictions and hardships due to COVID-19, will regain vitality through the donated goods and side dishes prepared with the volunteers’ sincerity,” and added, “We thank Jucheon-myeon for their cooperation in enabling volunteers to carry out their service in a safe and clean environment.”
