Gijang County Office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Gijang-eup Community Security Council in Gijang-gun, Busan, is promoting the side dish support project "Warm Jeongchan" for vulnerable households struggling to secure meals due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

The project was selected in January through the "Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Operator Support Project" contest and is being carried out with a total budget of 6 million KRW.

The "Warm Jeongchan" project was implemented to provide a balanced diet to low-income households at risk of meal deprivation among those identified by the Gijang-eup Community Security Council as welfare blind spots.

The council selected 20 households and will support four types of side dishes twice a month for six months starting in February.

As a principle, direct delivery will be made, and monitoring will be conducted to check on the well-being of the target households and assess their living conditions.

Kwon Myo-yeon, chairman of the Gijang-eup Community Security Council, said, "In these difficult times for everyone due to COVID-19, we hope that warmth is delivered to vulnerable households and that it helps their livelihood even a little." He added, "We will continue to promote local welfare projects that practice neighborly love."
