"Still, a Hearty Meal is Essential" Sangju-si Oenam-myeon, 'Hearty Table' Delivery Project

A reliable meal delivery project is underway in Oenam-myeon, Sangju-si.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Community Security Council of Oenam-myeon, Sangju-si, Gyeongbuk, carried out a lunchbox delivery project called ‘Adding Love (+) Sharing Worries (÷)’ for neighbors in need.

Sangju City announced on the 18th that on the 17th, it delivered the ‘Hearty Meal’ service to 20 households under case management and service linkage.

The ‘Hearty Meal’ delivery project targets vulnerable groups who have difficulty purchasing ingredients and eating due to mobility issues and isolation caused by the spread of COVID-19.

The project aims to support nutritional foods to improve the health of nutritionally imbalanced households, reduce living expenses, and help establish a protein-centered diet to promote healthy living. This is the second year the project has been implemented following last year.

The meal consists of 12 types of foods favored by the elderly, including nutritious porridge, gim (seaweed), eggs, tofu, and dumplings. When delivering the food, they checked on the recipients’ well-being and asked them to follow quarantine and health guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and Omicron.

An elderly recipient said, “I used to eat rice soaked in water with kimchi roughly, but I am very grateful to receive a variety of good foods.”

Kang In-dae, head of Oenam-myeon, said, “This project is being carried out again this year following last year to help elderly people who find it physically and economically difficult to prepare quality meals on their own. We hope that through this sharing, Oenam-myeon will become a warmer community.”
