Nutrition Social Security Association supports vulnerable groups in welfare blind spots with 'Emergency Food Pack' assistance

The Community Security Council of Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongbuk (co-chairmen O Do-chang and Kim Gil-dong) announced that they received support of about 100 emergency relief food “Emergency Food Packs” from the Gyeongbuk Regional Food Bank and plan to deliver them to 50 vulnerable individuals.

Yeongyang-gun Community Security Association delivered emergency relief food 'Emergency Food Pack' supported by Gyeongbuk Regional Food Bank to vulnerable groups.

The recipients of the “Emergency Food Pack Project” implemented by Nongshim are vulnerable groups who need food support due to crisis situations or economic difficulties. The packs contain two months’ worth of emergency food for vulnerable groups in the blind spots of the public support system and will be delivered through the Eup/Myeon Community Security Council.

The Food Bank project in Yeongyang-gun collects donations of food and daily necessities from companies and individuals in other regions and supports low-income vulnerable groups such as children at risk of food insecurity and elderly living alone. In 2022, about 3,600 people received 160,000 Food Bank items including KF masks, deer antler red ginseng, collagen sticks, and Matilda bedding free of charge.

Co-chairman O Do-chang stated, “The Food Bank project, which shares food as one of the essential elements of human survival?food, clothing, and shelter?is the warmest form of sharing and a social contribution project that creates value. It will be a precious resource especially in Yeongyang, where there is a severe shortage of companies able to donate. Furthermore, through this project, we will strive to eliminate welfare blind spots and move closer to a society with zero food-insecure groups.”
