Gurye-gun plans to prepare various side dishes considering the recommended nutritional intake for the elderly by signing an agreement with the Gurye Community Self-Support Center and distribute them twice a week by eup and myeon (town and township).

The customized welfare team leaders of eup and myeon will also visit each household directly to deliver meals, inquire about the elderly’s well-being, and check if there are any inconveniences or needs.

Governor Kim Sun-ho said, “We will provide nutritious meals to take care of the health of the elderly and continue to pay steady attention and efforts to ensure there are no inconveniences in daily life.”
