[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 18th that it will carry out the 'Happiness Plus! Nutritious Side Dish Sharing Project' targeting 500 households in need of care, such as elderly living alone and single-person households with disabilities, until the 19th of next month.

This project was prepared to prevent meal deprivation among vulnerable groups during the winter season and is being promoted with 40 million won in donations contributed by local residents.

Buk-gu will provide side dishes to each household recommended by the Dong Administrative Welfare Center and the Comprehensive Social Welfare Center in four rounds.
