It has received consistent praise from users for its well-planned courses and excellent value for money.
Jeonju City announced on August 1 that it has been recognized as an outstanding local government by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in its evaluation of '2025-2026 Winter Welfare Crisis Household Discovery and Support,' which assessed 229 cities and counties nationwide.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare selected Jeonju, along with 23 other local governments, including Tongyeong in South Gyeongsang Province and Chungju in North Chungcheong Province, based on comprehensive evaluations of their performance in discovering and supporting welfare blind spots, support systems, public-private cooperation, and the effectiveness of welfare service connections.
Jeonju received high marks for establishing a robust winter welfare safety net during the last winter (November 2025 to March 2026) and actively promoting the proactive discovery of crisis households and public-private cooperative support.
The city identified vulnerable groups using kerosene and briquettes for heating and implemented the 'Warm Energy Sharing' project, providing briquettes and kerosene to 175 households facing heating crises.
Additionally, through collaboration with the Jeonbuk Regional Postal Service, Jeonju initiated the 'Warm Greetings Delivery' project, where postal workers check on the well-being and health of elderly individuals living alone, leading the way in discovering crisis households closely tied to daily life.
In the area of discovering welfare resources through public-private cooperation, Jeonju has closely collaborated with the Jeonju Welfare Foundation, local community service councils, and the Jeonbuk Community Chest of Korea, resulting in a 162.3% increase in donations, totaling 1.56 billion won compared to the previous year, thereby promoting a culture of giving.
