This event was organized to promote nutritional balance and convey warmth to vulnerable groups in the community. Around 20 volunteer members participated, preparing side dishes with care and delivering them to 100 households in need within the area.

Along with delivering the side dishes, the volunteers visited each household to check in and communicate with the residents. This served as an opportunity to strengthen the sense of community, encouraging neighbors to support and help one another.

The Odong-dong Welfare Family Volunteer Association, which organized this event, has been carrying out various volunteer activities for the local community for over 10 years since its establishment. In addition to sharing side dishes, the association also contributes to improving the quality of life for marginalized groups through events such as senior citizens' parties and the distribution of holiday food items.

Cho Eunsuk, president of the Odong-dong Welfare Family Volunteer Association, said, "There are still many neighbors around us who need a warm helping hand, and I am deeply grateful that we can offer even a small amount of support to them. As a member of the local community, we will continue to carry out ongoing volunteer activities for the marginalized."

Cho Ilyong, head of Odong-dong, expressed his gratitude, saying, "I sincerely thank the members of the Odong-dong Welfare Family Volunteer Association for sharing hope with the marginalized through their warm support. We will continue to work towards stabilizing the lives of the socially vulnerable and building a healthy local community through various welfare support initiatives."
