This Year, Attention Drawn to Making Holiday Food Wearing Hygiene Clothes Instead of Hanbok

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the 24th, the Saemaeul Women's Association and Saemaeul Council of Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) carried out a 'Sharing Love Side Dish Volunteer Service' activity for the underprivileged in the community at the Neungdong Saemaeul Hall in celebration of the Chuseok holiday.

On this day, members of the Saemaeul Women's Association and Council made traditional Chuseok foods such as kimchi, jeon (Korean pancakes), and songpyeon (rice cakes) by hand. Notably, considering the COVID-19 situation this year, they wore sanitary clothing instead of hanbok while working, drawing attention.

The side dishes prepared this time are scheduled to be delivered to about 120 people, including elderly people living alone and single-parent families in the area who are facing difficulties.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, "Through this side dish sharing volunteer service, I hope that elderly people living alone and single-parent families will not feel isolated and can have a warm Chuseok holiday despite the difficulties caused by COVID-19," and added, "Gwangjin-gu will also closely monitor the social safety net to prevent blind spots in welfare."
