The Dobong-gu Family Volunteer Group made and delivered

delicious side dishes for the elderly people.

A good nutritional side dishes for seniors that they personally

made from pumpkin, herbs, tofu stew, and round grill fork. Like

their group’s name “Hengbuk Biteumi”

They enjoyed making the side dishes as well as the happiness

they saw from the faces of the elders.

This year’s giving love of Dobong-gu’s Family Volunteer Group
