    By joining the Soup Kitchen program, you will have the chance to contribute to the effort of providing meals to hundreds and thousands of people who are facing daily challenges in meeting their basic nutritional needs. Your involvement in this program can have a direct impact on the lives of those who are struggling and bring them some relief and nourishment.

    The program is designed to address the hunger problem and support the most vulnerable members of society. By volunteering in the Soup Kitchen, you will actively participate in the preparation, serving, and distribution of meals to those in need. This hands-on experience will allow you to engage with the community, learn about their stories, and witness the impact of your efforts firsthand.

    It’s important to recognize that the Soup Kitchen program plays a vital role in addressing food insecurity, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The economic and social challenges brought about by the pandemic have further intensified the need for food assistance worldwide. By joining this program, you will be contributing to the collective effort to combat hunger and make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and families who are struggling to access sufficient food.

    Which issues do I address when participating?

    Your participation in the Soup Kitchen program in Korea will not only provide nourishment to those in need but also offer a sense of hope and support to the community.

    The program is organized in collaboration with the non-profit organization called “Dail Community,” which has been making valuable contributions to society since its establishment in 1998.

Over the years, the organization has expanded its efforts to include various initiatives such as free education for less fortunate children and providing medical care to low-income families in Korea and underdeveloped countries facing healthcare challenges.
