[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Local company Kyungdong Construction donated a delivery vehicle to the ‘Community Integrated Care Meal Service Support Center,’ a school enterprise of Dong-Eui Institute of Technology.

The donation ceremony held on the 29th was attended by Dong-Eui Institute of Technology President Kim Young-do, Care Center Director Lee Sang-ju, and Kyungdong Construction Executive Director Heo Gap-su, among others.

The vehicle donated by Kyungdong Construction is a 1-ton refrigerated delivery truck. This vehicle will be used to deliver meals to elderly people with mobility difficulties from Onmaeul Sarangchae.

The Dong-Eui Institute of Technology faculty and staff volunteer group donated 3 million KRW for kimchi support to Onmaeul Sarangchae. Onmaeul Sarangchae is a leading project of the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Community Integrated Care initiative.

Sarangchae is a meal service facility that provides customized meals and nutrition management services to integrated care recipients, supporting improvement of malnutrition and healthy independent living in old age.

The Care Center, operated by professors, nutritionists, and cooks from Dong-Eui Institute of Technology’s Department of Food and Nutrition and health fields, oversees operations, while Foodmers supports ingredient supply and development of elderly-friendly foods.

The second branch, Choeup Branch, was opened at ‘Doran Doran House,’ a multifunctional shared housing for integrated care recipients. The Choeup Branch plans to provide the same services to residents and local community members.

Kim Young-do, President of Dong-Eui Institute of Technology, said, “We will focus more on expanding customized meal services for elderly people who have been in welfare blind spots.”

Heo Gap-su, Executive Director of Kyungdong Construction, said, “We hope more Sarangchae centers will be established.”
