The counseling programs will be held every Thursday from 1 PM to 5 PM at the shelter from September to November. Experts in each counseling field will visit the shelter to conduct consultations. Those who wish to receive counseling can make a reservation by phone and visit.

The shelter is located in Seongsu-dong, the most commercially developed area in Seongdong-gu. It is available to all workers who need a space to wait or rest during work, including essential workers, delivery workers, courier drivers, and city gas meter readers.

The shelter covers an area of 50㎡ and includes a resting area and a simple cooking space. It also provides a motorcycle parking lot and a smoking room within the building. In particular, a partitioned personal resting space equipped with a massage chair and table has been prepared for mobile workers suffering from musculoskeletal disorders.
