The Hwaseong City Children’s Meal Management Support Center was established in November 2014 under the 'Special Act on the Safety Management of Children’s Dietary Life' and is operated by the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation of Suwon University. It supports nutrition and hygiene management, nutrition education, and training for cooking staff and related personnel at children’s meal facilities with fewer than 100 children throughout Hwaseong City. Additionally, in accordance with the 'Act on Support for Meal Safety in Social Welfare Facilities for the Elderly and Disabled,' the city established the 'Social Welfare Meal Management Support Center' in July, and through integrated operation of the two centers, it manages meal services not only for children but also for the elderly and people with disabilities.

The center registers children’s, elderly, and disabled meal facilities without nutritionists in the district as general members and provides guidance on kitchen hygiene, safety, and nutrition management for these meal facilities. The center also conducts education tailored to various groups such as cooks at small-scale meal facilities, children, directors, teachers, and staff.

About 300 people attended the event, including Son Im-seong, Vice Mayor of Hwaseong City, Hwaseong City council members, the president of Suwon University, representatives from children’s, elderly, and disabled meal facility organizations, children, and parents. During the event, 29 institutions were selected and awarded as excellent children’s meal facilities for hygiene and safety management.

Vice Mayor Son urged, "We hope you will continue to develop various educational programs, provide balanced diets tailored to each user’s stage, and consistently promote safety management support throughout the entire meal service."
