Use Once a Month for One Year in 2024... Recipients Selected in November
Free Delivery of Four Items Including Groceries and Daily Necessities... Delivery Service for Disabled and Elderly

Songpa-gu (District Mayor Seo Gang-seok) is recruiting 250 users for the 'Songpa Food Market' until the 31st of this month.

The Songpa Food Market is a community-based welfare service that provides various food items and daily necessities donated by individuals and organizations free of charge to vulnerable groups in the area.

Selected users can visit the store once a month to receive up to four necessary items.

Applicants must visit their local community service center to fill out an application form. Priority is given to emergency support recipients, low-income households, and other priority groups when selecting beneficiaries. However, previous users can only reapply after one year has passed.

This recruitment is for selecting users for next year. The final selection will be made in November, and selected users can use the food market once a month from January to December 2024.

For elderly or disabled individuals who have difficulty visiting in person, a 'Visiting Food Delivery Service' is also provided. This service started in 2022 considering the accessibility issues since the food market store is located in Macheon-dong. Applications can be made through the Songpa Food Market website or by phone. The district currently provides delivery service to 93 households and plans to gradually expand it from next year.

The food market accepts donations of processed foods, daily necessities, fresh foods, and cash contributions. Those wishing to donate should check the expiration dates and packaging conditions of the items and consult by phone with the food market before deciding to donate.

District Mayor Seo Gang-seok stated, “Songpa-gu prioritizes administrative support for residents who need social care, such as low-income individuals, people with disabilities, and elderly living alone,” adding, “We will continue to promote a culture of sharing through the Food Market and Food Bank and create a stable support environment to make Songpa a better place to live without anyone being left behind.”
