[Suwon Ilbo=Um In-yong Reporter] Namyangju Dasan Senior Welfare Center (Director Jang Sun-young) held a ‘Summer Wellness Food Sharing Donation Delivery Ceremony’ on the 28th together with the Namyangju Zone 2 Rotary Clubs of Rotary International District 3600 to support vulnerable seniors in spending a healthy summer.

The donation was organized with 1,200 packaged samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) valued at 6 million won sponsored by the Namyangju Zone 2 Rotary Clubs Union (Migeum, Dasan, Baekap, and Namyangju clubs).

Approximately 50 people attended the delivery ceremony, including Jang Sun-young, Director of Dasan Senior Welfare Center, Kang Tae-il, Director of the Welfare Department of Namyangju City, Yu Ju-sang, Representative of Namyangju Zone 2 Rotary Clubs, club members, and volunteers.

The donated samgyetang was distributed to four senior welfare centers in the city, including Dasan Senior Welfare Center, Dongbu, Happy Nuri, and Namyangju City Senior Welfare Center. Volunteers visited approximately 580 vulnerable senior households in person to deliver the soup and check on their wellbeing, strengthening the coordinated public-private care system.

Kang Tae-il, Director of the Welfare Department, stated, “As Confucius said, ‘Virtue is not lonely; it will surely find neighbors who share its purpose.’ The good intentions of those who practice virtue are never alone and always meet neighbors who share their aspirations,” and added, “Going forward, we will further solidify the ‘Namyangju-style Integrated Care System’ so that our seniors can lead healthy lives within our community.”
