[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Go Dallyoung] The Jeongcheon-myeon branch of the Jinan-gun Social Welfare Council (Branch Chief Kim Sunhwa) carried out a volunteer activity on the 22nd, delivering Gamjatang to socially marginalized groups such as elderly living alone in the area together with Jeongcheon-myeon (Chief Lee Myeongjin) staff.

Due to social distancing caused by COVID-19, members and staff personally delivered Gamjatang to 40 households, including vulnerable groups such as elderly living alone and low-income elderly households who might otherwise fall into welfare blind spots, helping the seniors not to skip meals.

Branch Chief Kim Sunhwa said, “Although it is not a large amount, I hope the seniors can enjoy at least one delicious meal.” She added, “They were very pleased to receive the Gamjatang, so we plan to continue supporting them steadily in the future.”

Meanwhile, the Jeongcheon-myeon branch of the Jinan-gun Social Welfare Council has been conducting annual volunteer activities such as bathing service and Jjajangmyeon service, and the Gamjatang volunteer service, which started in 2016, has been supported for five years due to the positive response from the seniors.
