[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Sangju City, Gyeongbuk Province, announced on the 22nd that Nanwoori (President Kim Young-min), a volunteer organization, has been conducting volunteer activities providing jjajang (black bean sauce) to 200 underprivileged households in Oeseo-myeon from the 21st until the end of the year, receiving great response.

The volunteer members, adhering to quarantine guidelines, are organized into three teams of three people each. Before lunch, they visit underprivileged households to provide prepared jjajang and check on their well-being.

Nanwoori was formed three years ago with 10 members for volunteer activities. They have conducted jjajang volunteer services at various places such as churches, nursing facilities, and welfare organizations. However, due to difficulties visiting institutions amid the COVID-19 spread, they considered ways to support and decided to proceed with a packaged delivery method.

Kim Young-min, president of Nanwoori, said, "I was wondering how to be with neighbors in need, and I started this with the desire to serve even a warm bowl of jjajang. Seeing them enjoy the meal gives me strength."

Joo Seon-dong, head of Oeseo-myeon, expressed, "I deeply thank the Nanwoori members who carry out volunteer activities despite difficult circumstances, and I will do my best to create a warm Oeseo-myeon."
