Starting this year, the city operates the Changwon City Hope Jun Day (DAY) project, which sets a theme each month to support low-income households with various classes and needs by providing donations and goods.

In April, to commemorate Disabled Persons Day, goods and donations will be provided to 830 low-income disabled households recommended by welfare officials in eup, myeon, and dong and members of the local community security council.
