Uiwang City Holds 'First Half 2020 Child Meal Support Committee' Meeting

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City held the 'First Half 2020 Child Meal Support Committee' meeting on the 8th at City Hall, with 11 participants including city officials, the Out-of-School Youth Support Center, the Joint Meal Support Center, nutritionists, and parent representatives.

The Child Meal Support Committee meeting was held to decide 455 children as meal support beneficiaries through a comprehensive survey of children at risk of malnutrition conducted from the 1st to 19th of last month, and to support meal provision services from this summer vacation through the second half of the year.

Children eligible for meal support receive lunch and dinner through boxed meal delivery or community children's centers during summer vacation and the school semester in the second half of the year.

Lee Yun-ju, Director of the Women and Children Division, said, "The city will do its best to provide quality meals to eligible children so that growing children can develop healthily without missing meals."

Meanwhile, as the city's school attendance schedules vary due to COVID-19 prevention measures, the city has been providing customized boxed meal delivery support services tailored to individual attendance schedules since May to prevent malnutrition among eligible children.
