Guro-gu Provides Meal Support at All-Day Care Centers During School Breaks

Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) will start providing lunchbox support at the All-day Care Centers from this summer vacation.

The All-day Care Centers operated and supported by the district, unlike local children's centers and Uri-dongnae Care Centers, have not provided meals during vacations until now. As a result, dual-income families faced inconveniences such as preparing individual lunchboxes or leaving work to take care of their children's meals. During the vacation period, up to 20 children per center will be supported at All-day Care Centers that offer morning care and have a space where meals can be eaten. The cost for purchasing lunchboxes is 8,000 KRW per person per meal.

Mayor Moon Heon-il said, "Although the financial situation is difficult, we decided to support meals during vacations to resolve the difficulties experienced in raising children," and added, "We will continue to listen carefully and thoroughly ensure that there are no blind spots in childcare."

The All-day Care Centers are Guro-type after-school care institutions that provide care services for elementary school students regardless of income level from 1 PM to 7 PM on weekdays. Currently, a total of 16 centers are in operation.
