On the 25th, Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, volunteered to serve meals with love to over 100 elderly people at the senior cafeteria of the Seoul Municipal Surak Senior Welfare Center.

In July, Nowon-gu opened the new-concept Municipal Surak Senior Welfare Center (Director Jang Ji-yeon) to meet the diverse needs of the elderly residents.

The first floor, where the senior cafeteria providing hearty meals is located, features a waterwheel, trees, and hydroponically grown lettuce, delighting the eyes and ears of the residents.

With about 94,000 people aged 65 and over, accounting for 18% of the total population of the district and ranking third among Seoul’s 25 autonomous districts, continuous research is being conducted to support leisure welfare facilities such as welfare centers, senior centers, and senior classes, as well as to create an elderly-friendly city.

Mayor Oh Seung-rok of Nowon-gu said, “In this super-aged society, we will identify the various needs of the elderly and expand various educational programs and leisure programs such as table tennis and billiards, share with neighbors in need, and gradually expand the breakfast meal support project of the Municipal Surak Senior Welfare Center to create a cultural city Nowon where all residents can look forward to tomorrow.”
