[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Han-hyuk] On the 13th, Naju City, Jeollanam-do announced that on the 12th, it carried out the ‘Warm Blanket Set Support Project’ for 130 low-income vulnerable households concerned about health and safety issues due to poor heating conditions in winter.

The blanket sets, worth approximately 21 million KRW, consisting of blankets, pads, and pillows, were provided using designated donations from Naju City as part of the distribution project by the Community Chest of Korea.

The recipients were 130 households with incomes below 100% of the median income, identified as heating-vulnerable and low-income households through a winter welfare blind spot survey, and the sets were delivered directly by town, township, and neighborhood office staff and members of the local community security council.

A city official said, “We are grateful to the companies and donors who generously designated donations to help our neighbors have a warm winter,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to discover welfare blind spots during the winter season and to improve welfare for vulnerable groups.”
