“Happiness Sharing One-Stop Laundry Service” for the elderly living alone and households with severe disabilities

[Reporter Jang Sun-hee = North Gyeonggi Province] On May 17, the Community Security Council in Heungseon-dong, Uijeongbu City, announced that it is operating a “one-stop laundry service for sharing happiness” for senior citizens living alone and households with severe disabilities who have difficulty doing laundry.

He said that the Happiness Sharing One-Stop Laundry Service project started in 2016 and has been carrying out laundry and drying after collecting laundry to about 210 households, and shipping in one stop.

“I wanted to do the laundry of the blankets, but I am so happy to do laundry and drying after collection,” said a grandmother who received laundry service support.

Chairman Kim Hyun-suk said, “I was able to forget the difficult things because I thought that the elderly people who received clean blankets would be happy,” and said, “We plan to carry out various volunteer activities so that more elderly people can see a healthy life.”

Heungseon-dong Community Security Council said that not only collecting and delivering laundry through home visits, but also inspecting every nook and cranny of the house and checking for inconveniences, it is also carrying out replacement of paperboards, floor coverings, sinks, and LEDs for residential environment improvement projects.

Heungseon-dong, head of welfare support manager Jung Jun-mo, said, "We will do our best to discover and support welfare blind spots with the Heungseon-dong Community Security Council."
