[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Jeonggwan-eup in Gijang-gun, Busan, has completed the so-called 'Nutrition and Health Connection' project, which gifts health foods to vulnerable groups.

Jeonggwan-eup Administrative Welfare Center (Eupjang Kim Jong-cheon) announced on the 17th that on the 16th, it delivered health food packages containing boiled pork, kimchi, boxes of tangerines, steamed buns, and more to 50 vulnerable households in the area.

This project, named "Value∞Together, Nutrition Connection/Health Connection Project," was promoted as part of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's 2022 public service linkage enhancement contest for residents' living sites. Jeonggwan-eup led the project, with members of the local social security council and honorary social welfare officers participating as a human safety net.

Quarterly, health food packages, health supplies, health drinks, and customized health information leaflets have been delivered to health-vulnerable groups, while checking on their well-being and forming emotional bonds with them.

An honorary social welfare officer who participated in the event said, "I felt great fulfillment seeing the joy of our marginalized neighbors as we delivered health food packages and drinks."

Jeonggwan-eup Mayor Kim Jong-cheon said, "I believe that small interest and support can come together to deliver great strength. The hearts of all the council members and honorary social welfare officers who participated have made Jeonggwan warmer."

Mayor Kim emphasized, "The public and private sectors will continuously communicate and cooperate to resolve crisis households and build a dense social safety net tailored to our local circumstances."
