Yongin Mayor Baik Gun-ki Encourages Workers at School Meal Ingredient Bundle Packaging Facility

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] On the 8th, Yongin Mayor Baik Gun-ki visited a logistics center in Yangji-myeon, Cheowin-gu, to observe the packaging process of school meal ingredient bundles and encourage workers.

As school openings were postponed due to COVID-19, the city is sending food ingredients to student households at 352 schools including kindergartens, as well as elementary, middle, high, special education, and alternative schools in the city, using unused school meal budgets.

In relation to this, the city accepted applications for the first round until the 29th of last month, and plans to package and deliver 5,000 bundles per day to 91 schools and 60,739 student households from the 8th through the 24th.

The bundle, worth approximately 50,000 won at market prices, is composed of three types of sets: basic items including rice, potatoes, onions, and shiitake mushrooms, along with Yongin 8-mi, Premium Dishes, and Tumbung-Tumbung sets.

Food ingredients are supplied by the Yongin School Meal Support Center, and delivery is handled by NH Nonghyup Logistics.

On this day, Mayor Baik carefully inspected the hygiene conditions of the packaging facility and the freshness management of the materials.

Mayor Baik said, "I hope the students will receive high-quality food ingredients in fresh condition without any problems in delivery."
