On the 22nd, Namyangju City‘s Geumgok Yangjeong Administrative Welfare Center (Chairman Kim Eui-tae) and the Community Security Council (Chairman Jeong Yang-ho) held ‘Forest, Imagination No More Healing’ targeting vulnerable groups such as middle-aged and elderly single-person households.
This program was designed to provide emotional stability and cultural experience to vulnerable groups through healing experiences.
The event was held at ‘Promise of the Forest’ located in Gapyeong-gun, and participants had time to communicate while sharing healthy food prepared with eco-friendly foods.
Next, they walked through a forest filled with the atmosphere of autumn, enjoyed nature, and had a leisurely healing time. They also had time to relax their minds through ‘making their own mug’ and ‘aroma therapy’ experiences.
Chairman Jeong Yang-ho said, “I am happy to spend a day with our neighbors comforting their bodies and minds tired from their busy daily lives,” and added, “We will continue to make efforts to ensure that lonely neighbors can comfort each other and live together in the community.”
Kim Eui-tae, head of Geumgok Yangjeong Administrative Welfare Center, said, “We thank you for providing a precious time to feel the beauty of fall for our neighbors who do not have the opportunity to take care of themselves and comfort themselves,” and added, “We will continue to make special efforts to provide practical help to the underprivileged and vulnerable groups.” “I will look into it,” he said.
Namyangju City’s Hopyeong Pyeongnae Administrative Welfare Center (Center Director Yong Seok-man) announced on the 22nd that Hopyeong Church (Senior Pastor Song Chun-bok) delivered 200 kg of white rice (equivalent to 500,000 won) for vulnerable groups to the Hopyeong-dong Community Security Council (Chairman Ahn Oe-sang). .
The ‘Rice of Love’ sponsored by Hopyeong Church will be delivered to 20 households of vulnerable groups, including the elderly living alone and those in welfare blind spots, in preparation for the coming winter.
Won Yong-sik, an elder at Hopyeong Church, said, “I hope that the rice of love collected by the church will be delivered with warm hearts to neighbors in need.” He added, “I will continue to participate in sharing activities for the local community.”
Director Yong Seok-man of the center said, “We are grateful to Hopyeong Church for extending a warm helping hand to our neighbors who may be worried about winter due to the suddenly cold weather.” He added, “The center will also be able to take a look at our neighbors in need and provide them with the help they need in preparation for the coming winter.” “I will work harder to make it happen,” he said.
Meanwhile, Hopyeong Church provides regular support to the Hopyeong-dong Community Security Council every month, and is serving as an example to the local community by consistently practicing a culture of sharing, such as volunteering for the local community and providing donations.
