Recently, the unveiling ceremony of the canteen of the four parents in Yangxi County was held, which was officially put into use, effectively solving the problem of difficult meals for the elderly at home, so that the elderly can have support and food.
In the canteen for the elderly in the Fangzheng community of Weaving Town, the old people sat together, eating delicious meals and chatting with great interest, which was very lively. The canteen for the elderly is equipped with television, chess entertainment and other facilities, so that the elderly can watch TV, play chess, and sing songs after eating, making their lives more colorful. The elderly said that with the elderly canteen, it is very convenient to eat, the dining environment is clean and tidy, and there are many dishes to choose from, so they can eat at ease.
Crowd: The meals were delicious, very clean, well cooked, there were three dishes and one soup, thanks to ** and the staff for their preferential treatment to us, we can come here by walking.
Masses: It is more convenient for the elderly, there is no need to go out to eat, and the children can work outside with peace of mind. I had a friend and I had fun (eating) together and could exercise.
Huang Xianjian, deputy mayor of Zhijiao Town, Yangxi County: In the next step, we will do "activities for the elderly" here, so that the elderly can come and participate in volunteer activities within their ability, such as community pension and mutual aid, and encourage them to participate in "one old and one young" activities, and bring their children together.
It is understood that the canteen for the elderly in Yongxing Community, Chengcun Town, and Shapao Town was also unveiled at the same time. At present, 6 towns in Yangxi County have built canteens for the elderly, and the elderly who meet the conditions of the service objects can go to the nearest canteen for the elderly to eat and enjoy preferential meal services.
Next, Yangxi County will continue to increase efforts and invest more resources to run canteens for the elderly, improve the sense of happiness, gain and security of the elderly, and promote the "Millions and Thousands Project" to go deeper and more practical.
Chen Yingwen, member of the Party Group of Yangxi County Civil Affairs Bureau: A total of 6 elderly canteens in our county have been opened, with a total investment of more than 1.5 million yuan in construction, providing meal assistance services for more than 180 elderly people every day, meeting the dining needs of the elderly in the jurisdiction. This not only effectively solves the problem of "difficulty in eating" for the elderly, but also provides a platform for the elderly to gather and communicate, which is a booster for neighborly friendliness and social harmony and stability. Next, the county civil affairs bureau will continue to expand the coverage of the elderly canteen, so that more elderly people can rely on "food" and eat happiness.
