Beijing, May 26 (Youth.cn) - A photo shot on May 25th, 2023 shows the "Gaoxing Canteen" located in Xi'an Technology and Business College on Luxiang Road, Gaoling District, Xi'an City.
In 2022, Gaoling District tackled the problem of elderly people's dining by constructing nine "GaoXing Canteens" for meal assistance and delivery. All seven streets in the district are covered by these canteens. The nine "Gaoxing Canteens" were built using four different models and conform to the "Five Unifications" standard: unified signage of meal assistance points , unified institutional plaques, unified dining tables and chairs for the elderly, unified establishment of "Elderly Stations" and unified meal delivery vehicles for the elderly. At the same time, donations from various sectors of society were encouraged to support the construction of such meal assistance points, with an estimated amount of nearly one million yuan in funds and goods received. Currently, all nine "Gaoxing Canteens" in the district are operational, serving nearly 100,000 meals and making 125 meal deliveries per day. Until now, there are 719 elderly meal assistance points in 1443 communities in Xi'an. It is expected that by the end of 2023, the coverage rate of elderly meal assistance services in urban communities will reach 70%, effectively addressing the problem of elderly people's dining.
