Mokpo City Council's Visit to Local Social Welfare Facilities for Lunar New Year Greetings

Delivery of Consolation Gifts to 20 Local Facilities and Listening to Their Difficulties

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] The Mokpo City Council in Jeollanam-do announced on the 25th that it visited local community welfare facilities to deliver consolation goods for the Lunar New Year.

The council visited a total of 20 locations, including 2 local nursing facilities, 6 welfare centers, 5 child welfare facilities, 4 disability facilities, 2 mother-child protection facilities, and 1 multicultural facility.

Considering the recent severe quarantine situation in the city, only a minimal number of personnel, including the chairperson of the Mokpo City Council and staff from the council secretariat, directly visited the Gongseng Rehabilitation Center, while consolation goods were delivered to the other facilities without direct visits.

A representative of the Mokpo City Council said, “In the past, all council members participated in visiting all social welfare facilities during holidays, but to minimize crowding, we regrettably visited only one location this time.”

Along with delivering consolation goods, the council checked whether the residents were having difficulties getting through the winter and listened to their concerns.

Chairman Park Changsoo emphasized, “There are still many marginalized and struggling neighbors in our society who require continuous attention and warmth. The council will also maintain ongoing support and continuously pay attention to fostering a culture of sharing that helps those isolated neighbors facing difficulties in welfare blind spots.”

Meanwhile, the council is actively responding to COVID-19 quarantine measures by shortening the originally planned five-day 372nd extraordinary session to one day, prioritizing livelihood stability in its legislative activities.
