[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, conducted consolation activities from the 2nd to the 9th to help neighbors in need have a warm holiday.

During this period, 897 million KRW was provided to 13,900 households receiving basic living subsidies, 3,600 national merit recipients and descendants of independence patriots, and 35 social welfare facilities.

Mayor Heo Seong-gon also participated in the consolation activities by visiting Bangjuwon, a child care facility in Hoewon-dong, delivering prepared consolation goods and offering encouragement.

Mayor Heo said, “Due to COVID-19, visits from family and relatives are difficult, so those living in low-income groups and welfare facilities may feel greater loneliness and alienation than usual,” adding, “I hope that with our attention and warmth, everyone can have a warm holiday.”
