Then, on the 5th, executives and employees of Seojindo Nonghyup and members of the Hometown Thoughts Housewives' Association made young radish kimchi over two days and visited the care recipient households in the district to deliver it.

In particular, from last month until June 20, the field volunteer group regularly visited two care recipient farming households five times together with executives and employees of Jindo Nonghyup to deliver necessary daily necessities.

Ju Myung-gyu, branch manager of NH Jindo-gun Nonghyup Branch, said, “I sincerely thank the Nonghyup executives and employees and the members of the Hometown Thoughts Housewives' Association who participated in the field volunteer group during the first half of the year,” adding, “The NH Jindo-gun Rural Field Volunteer Group will do its best to provide various welfare services for vulnerable groups such as elderly people in care who are in welfare blind spots due to rural population decline and aging.”

The NH Jindo-gun Rural Field Volunteer Group is composed of local Nonghyup executives and employees and members of the Hometown Thoughts Housewives' Association. Its main activities are carried out through support requests made via consultations at the local Nonghyup’s ‘Farmer Happiness Call Center’ to help elderly care recipients experiencing difficulties in daily life, providing necessary customized support.

The Farmer Happiness Call Center offers customized welfare services such as emotional comfort including companionship through counseling, resolving daily inconveniences, and emergency dispatch coordination for elderly, vulnerable, and single farmers aged 70 and above. Registration for recipients can be applied for at nearby agricultural and livestock cooperatives.
