The Welfare Task Force of Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do has officially launched its activities, starting with the operation of "Our Neighborhood Welfare Task Force Day."

According to the county on the 20th, the Welfare Task Force recently visited a household of a solitary elderly resident in Damyang-eup, cleaned the house, and disposed of waste. The activity was joined by the heads and members of the task force from each town and township, as well as the fire department.

The "Our Neighborhood Welfare Task Force" project supports vulnerable members of society who are unable to resolve daily life difficulties on their own. The initiative provides small-scale home repairs, wallpapering and flooring, boiler replacements, and other residential environment improvement services, as well as emergency living support funds for households in crisis.

This year, a new team of 213 people was formed, including experts in various technical fields, village heads, members of the Community Social Security Council, and volunteers. The Welfare Task Force plans to designate the third Wednesday of every month as "Task Force Day" and will work to establish a robust welfare safety net through a variety of volunteer activities.

A county official stated, "Our Neighborhood Welfare Task Force is playing a significant role as a problem solver, taking care of marginalized neighbors and providing daily support. Moving forward, the task force will continue to take the lead in helping local residents."
