Ulsan Ulju-gun Onsan-eup, Lunar New Year Lunchbox Sharing Event

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] On the 20th, the Onsan-eup Community Security Council in Ulju-gun, Ulsan, gifted holiday meal lunchboxes to vulnerable groups in the Onsan-eup Administrative Welfare Center.

This delivery ceremony was conducted as part of the 'Warm One Meal Lunchbox Delivery Project' supporting low-income single-person households. This project, now in its fourth year, was funded by a designated donation of 14 million KRW from Daehan Yuhwa.

The program delivers lunchboxes and special meals three times a week to 30 households, including low-income middle-aged single-person households at risk of food insecurity, elderly living alone, and disabled households, while also checking on their well-being to strengthen face-to-face safety nets and prevent solitary deaths.

Park No-hee, the private committee chair, said, “It is meaningful to provide a warm meal to marginalized neighbors, care for their health and well-being, and practice neighborly love,” adding, “I hope the lunchbox delivery project, a specialized project of Onsan-eup, becomes a source of vitality for neighbors in need.”

Im Myung-hee, the mayor of Onsan-eup, said, “At a time when the social environment has changed due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, warm hands are reaching out to marginalized groups,” and expressed gratitude to Daehan Yuhwa and the Community Security Council members for sharing warm interest and affection with vulnerable groups.
