A steady serving of food to the elderly... "The 101st Meeting"

[Anchor]
At a time when good news about politics or the economy is not heard well these days, I have a warm news to tell you.

A volunteer organization in Ulsan serves food to local seniors once a month, and it is said that it has exceeded 100th this time.

Reporter Oh Tae-in went to the volunteer site.

A restaurant has been set up in the parking lot of the administrative welfare center.

If you pull out the noodles yourself, boil them, add the sauce, and garnish them, a bowl of black bean noodles is completed.

The place where I made and delivered deliciously is in front of the elderly people in the neighborhood who have been waiting for me since morning under the tent.

The cold quickly disappears with one steaming chopstick of black bean noodles.

The neighborhood has already been rumored to be a free restaurant, so there's even a waiting line.

Those who make and serve jajangmyeon are members of Bogeumjari, a local volunteer organization in Ulsan.

For over 10 years since 2013, more than 400 people have been served meals every second Sunday of every month.

It was my 101st anniversary as I continued steadily except when COVID-19 spread.

Excluding some of the food ingredients, the cost is covered by the monthly membership fee of 10,000 won paid by about 240 members.

In recognition of these efforts, he received a commendation from the Minister of Public Administration and Security at the end of last year.

There is only one thing that members want, and I hope they will continue their service for a long time.

[Hong Gwi-ryang / Member of HomeNGO: I'm going to do my best as far as I can. And I'm going to do it as I want.]
