This agreement is being promoted as part of a project selected by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and will be operated from April to December by utilizing the local post office network. The program will deliver volume-based waste bags and daily necessities to 250 vulnerable households in welfare blind spots, making one visit per month to check on their well-being and to detect crisis signs at an early stage.



Jo Hyunil, Mayor of Gyeongsan, said, "Through cooperation with local institutions, we will minimize welfare blind spots and continuously promote tailored welfare policies that provide practical help to citizens."
