Haenam-gun Delivers Nutritious 'Love Packages' to Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam County announced on the 27th that on the 25th, it delivered ‘Love Agricultural and Marine Products Packages’ to low-income vulnerable groups struggling with COVID-19 and heatwaves to help them have a healthy summer.

This project involved investing 59 million won raised through the Ttangkkeut Haenam Hope Plus regional fundraising to deliver nutritious agricultural and marine product packages to 2,594 vulnerable households.

The Love Package items consist of five nutritious foods that may be somewhat lacking during the heatwave, including misutgaru (grain powder), dried sweet potatoes, and stone laver, all processed agricultural and marine products produced in Haenam County.

The package assembly was done by volunteer members of the Haenam County Saemaeul Women's Association, and the packages will be delivered to each household through the 14 town and township Community Security Council members, who will also check on the recipients’ well-being.

In April, the county also delivered packages containing food items such as ramen and eggs to 4,278 vulnerable elderly people living alone in the area.

Myeong Hyun-gwan, the head of Haenam County, said, “With COVID-19, the rainy season, and heatwaves continuing, we have supported these items to help people have a healthy summer,” and added, “We will do our best to create a warm Haenam County through public-private cooperation.”
