The ‘Let’s Celebrate Together: Birthday Table for Elderly Living Alone’ project is part of the pilot project to strengthen the functions of the Eup, Myeon, and Dong Community Security Councils implemented by the Changwon Welfare Foundation. Each month, five low-income elderly living alone are invited to the Dong, where the community security council members personally prepare warm birthday tables, creating a community where neighbors can feel warm affection and live together.



Lee Eun-ju, head of Sanho-dong, said, “Seeing the elderly smile broadly even at the small gesture of the birthday table makes me very happy. I hope that the elderly will always be healthy and have only happy days ahead.”
