SEMAS Visits 50 Elderly Households Living Alone for Holiday Sharing

The Small Enterprise and Market Service announced on the 18th that, in celebration of the Chuseok holiday, it conducted a 'Community Mutual Support Volunteer Activity' on the 17th to ensure a warm holiday and winter for local elderly living alone.

This volunteer activity was organized to address the issue of social isolation among the large population of elderly people living alone in the Dong-gu district of Daejeon, and to ease the emotional loneliness of seniors who spend the holiday by themselves.
