[안종욱 기자 = 경기북부/강원] 2022년 임인년 새해가 밝았음에도 불구하고 3년째 코로나19로 주민들의 생활이 더욱 어려워지고 있다고 밝혔다.

코로나-19가 장기화 되면서 주민들의 일상생활이 바뀌면서 더욱 힘들어하고 있으며, 특히 동절기에는 저소득 독거노인, 장애인가정, 건강과 경제적으로 어려움을 겪고 있는 소외된 취약계층 이웃들은 더욱 추운 겨울을 보낼 수밖에 없는 실정으로, 이에 가평군에서는 취약계층 주민들이 따뜻한 겨울을 보낼 수 있도록 하기 위하여 기관·단체에서 이웃돕기 성금·품으로 모아진 난방유와 연탄을 194가구를 선정하여 지원했다고 했다.

또한 쌀과 라면, 생필품을 소외계층 367가구에게 지원했고, 사회복지시설 12개소에도 생활필수품을 전달하여 주어 따뜻한 정을 느끼며 훈훈한 겨울을 보낼 수 있도록 희망과 용기를 심어주었다고 했다.

지병록 복지정책과장은 “추운 겨울, 어려움을 겪는 이웃이 없도록 더욱 촘촘히 살피고 지원하여 복지사각지대 없는 모두가 행복한 가평을 만드는데 더욱 노력하겠다”고 말했다.

Gapyeong-gun to support heating oil and briquettes for warm winter

Prepared with donations and gifts donated by institutions and organizations

[Reporter Ahn Jong-wook = Northern Gyeonggi/Gangwon] Although the new year of Lim In-yun in 2022 has been bright, it has been said that the lives of residents are getting more difficult due to Corona 19 for the third year.

As the COVID-19 outbreak continues, the daily lives of residents are changing, making it even more difficult. In particular, in winter, low-income seniors living alone, families with disabilities, and neighbors from the marginalized and vulnerable who are suffering from health and economic difficulties have no choice but to spend a colder winter. In response, Gapyeong-gun said that 194 households were selected and supported with heating oil and briquettes collected by organizations and groups to help the neighbors in order to ensure that the residents of the underprivileged could spend a warm winter.

In addition, rice, ramen, and daily necessities were provided to 367 households from the underprivileged, and daily necessities were delivered to 12 social welfare facilities to instill hope and courage so that they could spend a warm winter with a warm feeling.

Ji Byeong-rok, head of the welfare policy department, said, "We will do our best to make Gapyeong happy for everyone who is not in the welfare blind spot by closely monitoring and supporting so that there are no neighbors experiencing difficulties in the cold winter."
