What Is the ‘Our Neighborhood Action Store’ Program?
The ‘Our Neighborhood Action Store’ program is a public-private initiative in which shops and businesses closely connected to residents’ daily lives take part as members of the welfare safety net.
When they spot a neighbor in need, participating businesses report the case to the local Community Service Center (행정복지센터) and provide related welfare information.

The two newly participating businesses, which regularly interact with local residents, are Café Spade (CEO Cho A-yun, 조아윤) and Yewon Realty (예원부동산, CEO Kim Su-gi, 김수기).
