[Gangjin＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-su] Gangjin Senior Customized Care Center (Director Choi Jung-yoon) announced on the 25th that it will promote a project to prepare birthday tables so that elderly people living alone do not feel isolated on special days.

The project to prepare birthday tables for elderly people living alone selects 90 recipients annually among those aged 80 or older who are eligible for the Senior Customized Care Service, and has been implemented since 2012.

A recent recipient of a birthday table expressed gratitude, saying, "I am thankful just for the visit, but also for preparing the birthday table like this and giving me precious memories."

Director Choi Jung-yoon said, "I hope the warm hearts of the local community toward the underprivileged will spread even more during these difficult times due to COVID-19."

Meanwhile, Gangjin-gun provides Senior Customized Care Services, including weekly welfare calls and meal support, to about 2,000 elderly people aged 65 or older living alone, and is promoting various elderly welfare projects such as an emergency safety service that automatically calls 119 in case of fire or emergency situations.
