[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] "Who asked for laundry service?"

A basic local government has attracted attention by starting a 'Visiting Laundry Service' project to help low-income households with laundry.

Busan Gijang-gun Jeonggwan-eup Administrative Welfare Center announced on the 6th that it will promote the 'Visiting Jeonggwan Laundry Service Project,' which supports laundry for low-income households, as a specialized project of the local community security council starting in October.

The 'Visiting Laundry Service' is a project that improves the hygiene environment of households having difficulty with laundry due to physical or economic problems.

It provides free laundry services to low-income groups in Jeonggwan-eup, including people with severe disabilities, the elderly, and grandparent-headed families.

The project is implemented by receiving recommendations for beneficiaries through an agreement among ▲Jeonggwan-eup Administrative Welfare Center, ▲Jeonggwan-eup Local Community Security Council, and ▲Gijang Regional Self-Support Center.

After visiting homes to check the cleanliness status of low-income families, laundry services are provided to 33 households identified as needing care.

A representative of Jeonggwan-eup Administrative Welfare Center said, "This is not just a low-income laundry support service, but we also plan to play the role of a caring neighbor by checking on households experiencing corona blue due to isolation from the outside caused by COVID-19."
