[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Ki-dong] The Mokpo E-Land Senior Welfare Center (Director Kang Ju-ho), operated by the social welfare corporation E-Land Welfare Foundation (Chairman Park Seong-gyeong), announced that it is conducting a Chuseok sharing event for a total of 800 elderly recipients of the customized elderly care service over two days from the 24th to the 25th.

This sharing event is being held for 800 recipients in District 2 (Yongdang 1·2-dong, Sanjeong-dong, Yeondong, Samhak-dong, Yeonsan-dong, Wonsan-dong) managed by the Mokpo E-Land Senior Welfare Center.

This love package consists of traditional foods most thought of during Chuseok, such as songpyeon and sikhye, masks to protect the elderly from COVID-19, and letters filled with love from the care workers.

Especially this holiday season, as it is difficult for family or relatives to visit due to COVID-19, care workers are visiting each household directly to support the emotional stability of the elderly and ensure their safety during the long holiday period.

Director Kang Ju-ho said, “Through this Chuseok sharing, we are doing our best to provide emotional support to elderly people in crisis due to COVID-19 and to ensure the safety of elderly people who will be alone during the long holiday. This is being conducted with the purpose of establishing protective measures to prepare for any emergency situations that may occur during the holiday period.” He added, “We will continue to do our best to secure the safety of marginalized elderly people and support a more stable life.”

The customized elderly care service is a service aimed at guaranteeing a stable old age by providing appropriate tailored care services to vulnerable elderly people who have difficulty carrying out daily life, maintaining and preventing deterioration of elderly functions and health. The Mokpo E-Land Senior Welfare Center manages District 2 of Mokpo City (a total of 7 neighborhoods).
