On this day, Mayor Baek Kyunghyun and city officials visited three major welfare facilities in succession: Guri Disabled Workers Welfare Center (Director Jeong Yonggyu), Hannah's House (Director Nam Cheolmin), and Guri Municipal Senior Nursing Home (Director Oh Wonwoo). They extended heartfelt care to residents who could not be with their families during the holiday and expressed gratitude to the staff members who are dedicated to improving social welfare in the community.

Mayor Baek personally delivered 30 bags of white rice and 65 boxes of ramen as consolation gifts, checked on the well-being of the residents, and encouraged the staff members who quietly serve on site.

Mayor Baek stated, "We have prepared a small gesture so that everyone can spend a warm holiday without feeling lonely," and added, "I deeply thank all the facility staff who work so hard for the community."

He continued, "We will continue to do our best to spread a culture of sharing with our neighbors, so that all Guri citizens can live in a happy community together."

Meanwhile, every year during Seollal and Chuseok, Guri City continues its sharing activities by working with the eight administrative welfare centers and local organizations to deliver support goods and holiday food to welfare facilities, low-income households, and elderly people living alone, as well as providing support funds from the Gyeonggi Social Welfare Community Chest.

The city plans to further expand sustainable sharing activities based on public-private cooperation, rather than one-time support, to realize "A Warmer City, A Happier Guri," and to build a city where all citizens can grow and enjoy happiness together.
