Goheung 'Community Security Council' Delivers Gifts for Parents' Day

Delivery of Love Roll Cake and Carnations

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] The Goheung-eup Community Security Council in Goheung-gun (Public Chairman Kang Chun-ja, Private Chairman Lee Haeng-woong) announced that on the 4th and 6th, in celebration of Parents' Day, they visited elderly people living alone and delivered carnation flowerpots along with roll cakes and Sikhye (sweet rice drink).

The project, which was first launched by the Goheung-eup Community Security Council in 2021 and continued this year, was funded by donations collected through the regional joint fundraising campaign "Jomdori Gathering" in cooperation with the Community Chest of Korea, and the Goheung-eup sponsorship funds were allocated as project expenses.

The beneficiaries were 40 elderly people who live alone because their children find it difficult to visit on Parents' Day or have lost contact with their children. Members of the Community Security Council visited their homes in person to deliver goods, while also checking on their living conditions and health to care for the elderly.

Private Chairman Lee Haeng-woong said, “COVID-19 quarantine rules have recently been eased.

Accordingly, this year's Parents' Day allowed families to be together for the first time in a while.

However, in this atmosphere, elderly people living alone may become even more isolated. I am glad to have been able to convey a small amount of warm affection to the elderly living alone in such circumstances.”

Also, Joint Chairman Kang Chun-ja said, “Parents' Day should be joyful and happy, and this event was held so that elderly people living alone could leave good memories even for a short time. When I saw elderly people who were very thankful even for a very small gift and shed tears, my heart ached deeply. I will work together with the staff so that all residents can live happily with smiles in the future.”

Meanwhile, the Goheung-eup Community Security Council plans to continue its specialized projects by delivering gift packages to 20 low-income families with children and out-of-school youth in May, the month of family, and by supporting bathroom anti-slip mats for elderly and disabled households with mobility difficulties.
