Gangdong-gu Provides 'Love Lunchboxes' to Elderly Living Alone at Risk of Solitary Death
SK Networks, Yori Inryu, and Seongnae Comprehensive Social Welfare Center Collaborate to Gift Warm Meals... Providing a Total of 2,040 Lunchboxes to 120 Elderly Recipients of Customized Care Services
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon), with sponsorship from SK Networks, is collaborating with Yoriinryu Co., Ltd. and Seongnae Comprehensive Social Welfare Center to provide 'Love Lunchboxes' to elderly single-person households at risk of solitary death.
As part of the 'One Meal Sharing On(tact) Project,' SK Networks donated 20 million KRW to Gangdong-gu to help elderly single-person households at risk of solitary death endure the winter amid the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn.
The 'One Meal Sharing On(tact) Project' is designed to increase sales for small restaurants by ordering their lunchboxes and provide these meals to vulnerable groups who face difficulties in eating due to the suspension of welfare facility operations, thereby promoting coexistence within the community.
The Love Lunchboxes, fully funded by SK Networks, have been provided to the elderly every Tuesday and Thursday since the 9th of this month through the Seongnae Comprehensive Social Welfare Center.
Yoriinryu supports packaging and delivery to ensure that food from small restaurants, which are inexperienced in delivery, can be delivered without issues.
The lunchboxes will be supplied 17 times, totaling 2,040 units, to 120 elderly individuals with high risk of meal deprivation among users of elderly customized care services at three welfare facilities in the district (Seongnae Comprehensive Social Welfare Center, Gangdong Senior Welfare Center, and Seongga Senior Welfare Center).
