Gokseong-gun, Resident-Led Village Welfare Project... Side Dish Support Promotion

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 2nd, it was announced that Ok-gwa-myeon, Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, is carrying out the “Happiness Sharing Side Dish and Kimchi Support Project,” a resident-led village welfare initiative.

The “Happiness Sharing Side Dish and Kimchi Support Project” provides kimchi and side dishes to vulnerable groups such as elderly living alone and disabled people who have difficulty preparing meals. The kimchi and side dishes are made possible through warm support from the local community.

Kim Kwontae, CEO of “Okgwa Delicious Kimchi” and a member of the Ok-gwa-myeon Community Security Council, donates 3kg of kimchi weekly to 8 households, while Gilbeot, a side dish specialty company (CEO Choi Youngmin), donates side dish lunchboxes weekly to 15 households.

The Ok-gwa-myeon Community Security Council jointly identifies welfare crisis households in the area and delivers side dishes and kimchi, sharing warm care with neighbors in need.

In particular, this project has received even more positive responses as village communal meals have been restricted due to social distancing measures caused by COVID-19.

The head of the Ok-gwa-myeon Customized Welfare Team said, “We will do our best to discover various private welfare resources and provide diverse services to vulnerable groups.”
