On September 23, the Anyang City Council visited local child welfare facilities to deliver gifts and engage with the community ahead of the Chuseok holiday.
According to the council, they visited four welfare facilities in succession: Sunjong Child Center, Good House, Haeoreum Child Center, and Hope Tree Child Center.
The visit aimed to check on marginalized neighbors during the holiday and to encourage the staff working on the front lines of welfare services.
Key council members, including Acting Chair Yoon Hae-dong, Council Operations Committee Chair Chae Jin-ki, Planning and Administration Committee Chair Jo Ji-young, Welfare and Environment Committee Chair Kim Bo-young, and Urban Transportation Committee Chair Kwak Dong-yoon, participated in the visit.
The council members exchanged holiday greetings with facility representatives and delivered gifts while listening to their concerns and suggestions regarding the operation of the facilities, aiming to improve the welfare environment.
Acting Chair Yoon Hae-dong expressed gratitude to the welfare facility staff for their dedication to children and marginalized groups despite challenging circumstances. He stated, "The Anyang City Council will take the lead in practicing neighborly love and further spreading the culture of sharing in the community."
Local residents responded positively to the news. One citizen remarked, "It’s heartening to see the council consistently visiting the facilities during the holidays and listening to their voices. I hope this interest leads to substantial welfare budgets and policy support rather than being a one-time event."
The city council has been actively engaged in community service activities, including delivering gifts and conducting site inspections at social welfare facilities during the Lunar New Year and Chuseok holidays every year.
