Recently, the new canteen for the elderly of the village committee of Xiatang Village, Zhongshan Township was officially opened, and nearly 200 elderly people in the village gathered together to have a free lunch and enjoy the joy of housewarming.
Wu Yunde, an 80-year-old villager, came to the new canteen and was so happy that he couldn't stop talking, saying that the new canteen was more spacious and comfortable. "The old people in the village haven't gathered for dinner for a long time, and I took this opportunity to have a good time together!I hope that this canteen can continue to be run so that the elderly can enjoy a happy old age. Wu Yunde said.
When the canteen for the elderly was first established, the number of elderly people in the village was not as large as it is now, and as the group of elderly people increased, the original space was no longer enough. Liu Zhongyan, secretary of the general party branch and director of the village committee of Xiatang Village, said that as the birthplace of express delivery in Xiatang Village, most of the young people in the village went out to engage in express work, and only the elderly were left at home. In order to guard the "big rear" and solve the worries of the couriers, the village committee built a canteen for the elderly next to the office building of the village committee as early as 2011 to provide convenience for the left-behind elderly in the village.
Taking into account the actual needs of the elderly, the village began to carry out the "micro renovation and fine upgrading" project in March this year, and began to turn the negative floor of the village committee office building into a new canteen for the elderly. After nearly half a year of renovation and upgrading, the canteen for the elderly was reopened. The new canteen for the elderly covers an area of more than 300 square meters, spacious and bright, fresh and elegant, with all kinds of modern cooking equipment, transparent management of bright kitchens and bright stoves, and about 200 elderly people can be served in a single time.
Environment and service upgrades, ** remain the same. Liu Zhongyan added that at present, the canteen for the elderly in Xiatang Village provides lunch service of "two vegetables and one meat" for the elderly in the village, and the meal standard is 9 yuan. Among them, the elderly between the ages of 60 and 69 will pay 4 yuan for individuals, and the village committee will subsidize 5 yuanFor the elderly between 70 and 79 years old, the individual pays 3 yuan, and the village committee subsidizes 6 yuan;For the elderly between 80 and 89 years old, the individual pays 2 yuan, and the village committee subsidizes 7 yuan;Seniors over 90 years old are free of charge.
