The 'Senior Citizens' Center Happiness Helper Project' is a Gyeongbuk Province initiative launched in October 2019 to provide comprehensive integrated welfare services centered on village-level senior citizens' centers.
Sixteen happiness helpers affiliated with the Gyeongsan City Senior Citizens Association regularly visited 381 senior citizens' centers once a week throughout the year, operating leisure programs and inspecting facility safety.
In particular, amid the spread of COVID-19, they played the role of safety helpers by distributing quarantine supplies, producing and distributing mask holders, educating on prevention rules, and regularly making welfare calls and conducting visit consultations for elderly living alone.
