Korea Life Improvement Gokseong-gun Association Launches Volunteer Service to Share Side Dishes with Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Korea Life Improvement Gokseong County Federation (President Kim Geumja) announced on the 15th that on the 13th, they made and delivered side dishes filled with love for vulnerable groups in the area, such as elderly living alone and disabled people facing difficult situations.

The side dish sharing volunteer activity has been promoted since April with project funds supported by the Jeonnam Volunteer Center.

It is a good project that provides some help to struggling households and allows regular home visits to check on their well-being.

Recently, due to the impact of COVID-19, external activities such as senior centers have been restricted, causing difficulties in meal preparation for vulnerable groups. To provide some help, the chairpersons of the 11 eup and myeon Life Improvement associations joined hands despite the difficult circumstances.

President Kim Geumja of the federation said, “Everyone is exhausted due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. I am glad to be able to volunteer for neighbors who are going through even lonelier and harder times.”

A county official said, “We appreciate the Life Improvement members who participated in volunteer activities for neighbors in need during these difficult times,” and encouraged, “That spirit will add up to make Gokseong a happy and better place to live.”

Meanwhile, the Korea Life Improvement Gokseong County Federation continues to carry out volunteer activities for the local community, such as snack donations to areas struggling with COVID-19, sharing recycled soap made from used oil, and local environmental cleanup activities.
