People with disabilities who use the center, along with club members, participated in the event and made songpyeon with care. The completed songpyeon were delivered to the senior centers in Gosan 2-dong, Sinhyeon 2-dong, and Neungpyeong 4-dong. The event venue was filled with laughter and warm conversations, creating an opportunity to share the spirit of the holiday in advance.

This event was the second "Happy Sharing Activity" organized by the club, following the "Warm Companionship, Cool Summer" event held in July. It further enhanced the meaning of sharing with the local community.

Additionally, the Opo Health and Living Support Center began operating under a new department-based structure following an organizational restructuring on July 1. During the event, the center shared its key achievements through a video and introduced its operational plans for the second half of the year.

A club member who participated in the event said, "I felt proud to be able to share the songpyeon we made with the seniors. In particular, the moments of laughter while making songpyeon together with people with disabilities will remain in my memory for a long time. I hope we will continue to have more opportunities for sharing like this in the future."

Mayor Bang Sehyuan stated, "Just like the songpyeon we made together today, I hope our hearts will remain warm and that the upcoming Chuseok holiday will be filled with abundant laughter and happiness."

Meanwhile, the city plans to further expand various programs and communication-focused events centered on the Opo Health and Living Support Center, in order to spread a culture of sharing and understanding within the community.
