[Suwon Ilbo=Correspondent Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City will conduct a comprehensive survey of at-risk children facing food insecurity during the 2020 winter break and the first half of 2021 through the 20th.

Based on the survey results, the city will determine eligible children for support at the Children's Meal Review Committee in December and plans to provide dinner meals on weekdays and lunch meals on weekends and holidays through this year's winter break and the first half of next year.

Lee Yun-ju, head of the Women and Children Division, stated, "The city will do its utmost to ensure that children during their growth period grow healthy without missing meals and to provide quality meals to eligible children as part of our zero child food insecurity initiative."
