On a sweltering summer day, the Uijeongbu Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group visited the Uijeongbu Branch of the Korean Veterans Association and the Uijeongbu Branch of the Gyeonggi Branch of the Korean Association of Disabled Veterans in Uijeongbu, to show appreciation for those who served their country. The volunteers prepared and served nutritious samgyetang—a traditional Korean dish of whole chicken stuffed with rice, ginseng, garlic, and jujube, simmered into a rich, restorative soup—and refreshing watermelon to the veterans, offering both nourishment and heartfelt thanks.

A Meal with Meaning
The event was organised to check in on the veterans’ well-being, support their health during the extreme heat, and provide a moment of rest and connection.

One veteran expressed,
“I had no appetite due to the heat, but receiving this warm Samgyetang gives me strength. Thank you for taking care of my health during the summer.”

Another shared,
“I had no energy in the heat and was lonely because no one came to visit, but it was a great comfort to have you come and ask how I was.”

Serving with Sincerity
A representative from the Uijeongbu Branch said,

“This wasn't just about making and delivering food; it was a time to convey our gratitude to those who dedicated themselves to the country. Seeing the elderly genuinely happy made me feel even more deeply moved.”
