Gyeongnam Jeongbo University Resumes Operation of 'Love's Food Truck' After 4 Years

As the COVID-19 pandemic enters its end phase, university volunteer activities for neighbors, which had been suspended, are now resuming.

The Gyeongnam Jeonbo University (President Kim Dae-sik) Community Love Volunteer Group held a "Love Meal Truck" event on the 10th at Dangsan Park in Gamjeon-dong, Sasang-gu, Busan, serving lunch to over 150 local senior citizens.

At the volunteer site that day, about 30 volunteer members composed of Gyeongnam Jeonbo University students personally served meals to more than 150 seniors. The seniors enjoyed lunch in the park for the first time in a while, sharing conversations with acquaintances.

Students from Gyeongnam Information College are serving lunch to local senior citizens.

Gyeongnam Jeonbo University, which started operating the "Love Meal Truck" for the first time among universities in 2006, has served a total of 130,000 meals to local seniors over 17 years. The Love Meal Truck, which had been suspended for four years due to COVID-19, resumed its activities on this day.

Kim Dae-sik, president of Gyeongnam Jeonbo University, said, "We have been operating the Love Meal Truck to fulfill our social responsibility to the local community that has loved Gyeongnam Jeonbo University for 58 years, but it was regrettable that it was suspended due to COVID-19. Going forward, our students will visit seniors every week and engage in volunteer activities together."
