The Volunteer Center of Ulleung-gun, Gyeongbuk, conducted a side dish cooking and delivery volunteer service on the 22nd at the Hanmaeum Hall kitchen together with the Love Fruit Sharing Volunteer Group, delivering to severely disabled and vulnerable groups with mobility difficulties in the area.

Ulleung-gun Volunteer Center conducted side dish cooking and delivery volunteer service for severely disabled people with mobility difficulties and vulnerable groups.

The Volunteer Center cooks nutritious and heartfelt side dishes for more than 65 vulnerable households at least once a month and personally delivers them to check on their well-being, striving to improve the health and alleviate the sense of isolation among the vulnerable groups.

This month's side dish menu was prepared reflecting the seniors' health and nutritional status, seasonal factors, and needs, including kudzu root seaweed soup, seasoned pollock roe, braised anchovies, and green onion pancakes. The delivery service was supported by the JBC Volunteer Group, who extended their helping hands despite the bad weather.

Kim Sook-hee, Director of the Ulleung-gun Volunteer Center, said, “We will contribute to creating a happy Ulleung by continuously practicing neighborly love so that economically vulnerable groups can improve their health through better diets and overcome feelings of isolation through meetings with volunteers.”

Nam Han-kwon, County Governor, responded, “I thank the Sharing Volunteer Group for visiting and volunteering every month for our marginalized neighbors, and the JBC members who volunteered to deliver directly despite the bad weather. I am grateful that the heartfelt meals provided each time have enhanced the welfare experience of the vulnerable groups.”
