[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] The Yeongyang-eup Administrative Welfare Center in Gyeongbuk presented gift packages of daily necessities filled with love to neighbors in need to welcome the autumn season.

On the 2nd, Yeongyang-eup announced that it provided daily necessities packages to low-income vulnerable households under integrated case management who are experiencing economic and emotional difficulties due to rising prices and the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

This package was delivered to 27 households selected as integrated case management targets to help those in welfare blind spots and crisis households in Yeongyang-eup.

The package contains seven items including rice, ramen, and tuna. The Yeongyang-eup Customized Welfare Team visited each household to deliver the packages and check on their well-being.

Ms. Park (female, 86 years old) expressed her gratitude, saying, "I have been mostly staying at home due to physical discomfort and was afraid to go out, so I am very thankful to receive these essential items for daily life."
