The Church of God has consistently provided free meal services to bring comfort and hope to neighbors in times of national disasters and accidents. Starting from the 1995 collapse of the Sampoong Department Store, where the Church of God provided meals and hot soup on-site to rescuers, the church has continued its tradition of setting up free meal camps at disaster sites such as the Daegu subway fire, the Sewol ferry sinking, the Pohang earthquake, and more across the Republic of Korea (hereinafter referred to as Korea). These efforts aim to offer heartfelt and warm meals for those affected by various disasters. By taking care of the physical and mental well-being of not only disaster victims but also government officials, local authorities, rescuers, and other volunteers, the Church of God played a crucial role in facilitating a swift return to normalcy for all those involved. | The Church of God has consistently provided free meal services to bring comfort and hope to neighbors in times of national disasters and accidents.

The Church of God’s free meal camp was initially set up at Paengmok Harbor, led by female members, and operated 24 hours a day. Male members, too, temporarily suspended their jobs or took leaves to help them in shifts. Every day, church members came to the camp in the early morning, preparing a variety of dishes including bulgogi and various side dishes. Volunteers from other groups, rescuers, media representatives, and anyone else could visit at any time to have a warm meal. With word spreading that “it tastes like a meal made by a mom,” the number of visitors to the camp increased, with around 1,000 people coming each day. As the camp space became limited, on May 1, the camp was relocated to the open space in front of the Jindo Indoor Gymnasium, where temporary accommodations were arranged for the bereaved families.<ref name=":0">[http://www.kyeongin.com/main/view.php?key=856284 <nowiki>[Sewol Tragedy] World Mission Society Church of God Serves Free Meals at Pangmok Port</nowiki>], ''Kyeongin'', May 15, 2014</ref> | The Church of God’s free meal camp was initially set up at Paengmok Harbor, led by female members, and operated 24 hours a day.
