[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Consumer Education Central Association in Hapcheon, Gyeongnam announced on the 6th that it conducted the ‘Love-filled Side Dish Support Project’ for 70 households of elderly living alone and single-parent families in the area in celebration of Family Month.


This project is part of a women’s organization specialization initiative where each of the 10 unit organizations carries out distinctive projects. Among the 10 units, the Consumer Education Central Association Hapcheon Branch, which undertook the project for the first time, prepared seven types of side dishes filled with sincerity and delivered them to neighbors in need.


Additionally, due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), volunteers strictly adhered to hygiene rules while preparing the side dishes and minimized face-to-face contact when visiting each household to deliver them.


An elderly recipient of the side dishes expressed gratitude, saying, “I am very thankful that they personally brought side dishes filled with sincerity and carefully checked on me. It allowed me to feel warm affection after a long time.”



Kim Jeong-hye, the branch president, stated, “I hope that interest in neighbors, which had declined due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, will be revitalized through this event. We prepared the side dishes with love using healthy ingredients, so I hope it will be helpful.”
