Namhae County in South Gyeongsang Province is officially launching the "Geunyang Dream" business site, a food assistance program for residents facing sudden financial crises.


On the first floor of the Namhae County Comprehensive Social Welfare Center, the county held an opening ceremony for the "Geunyang Dream" business site under the slogan "For Residents in Real Need," according to an announcement on the 21st.


The "Geunyang Dream" program provides food packages quickly to residents experiencing temporary hardship due to unexpected crises such as job loss, bankruptcy, or accidents, without complicated application procedures or income verification. The support items consist of basic foodstuffs, including instant rice and ramen.
