Meanwhile, the city has been carrying out consolation activities every holiday for social welfare facilities and vulnerable groups, striving to foster a community culture of sharing and mutual growth. With a total budget of 50 million won, the city has been providing consolation money to each social welfare facility according to the current number of residents and the proportion of beneficiaries. For this year's Lunar New Year holiday, 25 million won in consolation money was provided to residents of 33 social welfare residential facilities within the city.
