The meeting began with a greeting from Kwon Soonhak, Head of the Resident Welfare Division of Yeongdeok-gun Office, followed by participant introductions, the appointment certificate presentation to Kang Sujeon, the new private chairperson of the Ganggu-myeon Community Security Council, sharing of the 2nd quarter 2023 projects and activities by Eup and Myeon, guidance on participation in the 2nd Yeongdeok-gun Village Welfare Planning Expert Training Course, and discussions on a workshop to strengthen the capabilities of the Eup and Myeon Community Security Council in 2023.

Reviewing the projects and activities by Eup and Myeon, the Yeongdeok-eup Community Security Council completed a supplementary food and academy fee support project to aid the healthy growth of low-income youth, and is conducting a year-round blanket laundry project for elderly living alone and low-income households.

The Ganggu-myeon Community Security Council used the proceeds from the 2022 'Thrifty Day Bazaar' to carry out the 'Happy House' residential environment improvement project for 10 housing-vulnerable households, and the Namjeong-myeon council successfully completed projects such as spring outings and delivery of carnation and snack sets on Parents' Day to provide emotional support for elderly living alone and marginalized groups.

Six councils including Dalsan-myeon have been devotedly working to resolve welfare blind spots and establish a community protection system by implementing side dish support projects that meet the high needs of low-income and vulnerable groups.

Lee Heewon, private chairperson of the representative council, expressed gratitude for the efforts, saying, "As natural disasters caused by climate change have led to significant damage and increased difficulties for neighbors, the Eup and Myeon council members are brightening the community by sharing sweat under the name of service."
