During the meal service, 30 participants-including President Lee Heehak, students, university executives, and staff-joined the Social Mission Center "Bethel's House" to provide meals and snacks to approximately 130 homeless people.

University members who participated in the meal service took on various roles, including serving food, guiding the waiting line, assisting with carrying tableware, and helping with waste separation and cleanup.

One homeless individual who received a meal expressed gratitude, saying, "The ongoing heat has made these days difficult, so I am thankful to receive a cool drink and a warm meal."

President Lee stated, "Education is only truly complete when it extends beyond the classroom into real life. Mokwon University members will take the lead so that the knowledge learned on campus is transformed into love on the streets, becoming a force that supports someone's day."
