[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon City will provide meals to 3,268 children under 18 years old enrolled in elementary, middle, and high schools who are at risk of missing meals during the winter break.

The city held the "2019 Second Half Suwon City Child Meal Support Committee" meeting in the city hall situation room on the 23rd to review the selection of children eligible for meal support.

The city also decided to provide meal support to 7 children from 3 households who are not included in the support target but face the risk of missing meals due to economic hardship in their families.

Winter break meal support targets include households receiving basic livelihood assistance, households eligible for emergency welfare support, and children selected through review by the child meal support committee.

A city official stated, "We will do our best to ensure that children at risk of missing meals do not go without food during school breaks when they cannot eat school meals," and added, "We will identify and support children at risk of missing meals."
