Pocheon City plans to cooperate in identifying children eligible for meal support and providing continuous support after the project ends.

Additionally, through this project, starting from March, side dishes for five days a week will be delivered twice a week to the homes of the recipients.

Cho Min-young, Head of Happy Narae Co., Ltd., said, "We are grateful to Pocheon City for taking the lead in support. We hope this project will be a great help to children at risk of food insecurity," and added, "The Happy Alliance will continue to collaborate with various companies and local governments so that children can grow up as healthy members of society."

Baek Young-hyun, Mayor of Pocheon City, said, "I hope this project will be an opportunity to further strengthen the social safety net so that children can grow up healthily without worrying about food insecurity," and added, "A meal filled with your support and efforts is more than just food; it will be a source of strength for our children and a foundation for nurturing their dreams."
