[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Park Kyum-soo) held a fund donation event for the ‘2020 Love’s Jomdori Movement’ at the main branch of Gangbuk Saemaeul Geumgo (Chairman Lee Yoon-jik) on the 14th.

Jomdori refers to a jar used in old households to collect small amounts of rice while cooking, which was saved for use in times of difficulty or to help others.

Through the ‘Love’s Jomdori Movement,’ Gangbuk Saemaeul Geumgo has raised funds to support residents who do not receive public assistance benefits, and has held sharing events with Gangbuk-gu every year during Lunar New Year and Chuseok.

In this event, a total of 19.2 million won was provided to 160 residents facing difficulties, including low-income elderly living alone.

In addition, Saemaeul Geumgo continuously practices community contribution activities such as supporting Saemaeul Library book donations and the Saemaeul Autonomous Disinfection Volunteer Corps, serving as a model company coexisting with residents.

Lee Yoon-jik, Chairman of Gangbuk Saemaeul Geumgo, said, “We held a meaningful event for those in need within Gangbuk-gu during the Lunar New Year holiday. Our Saemaeul Geumgo, which has grown together with Gangbuk-gu, will continue to carry out activities for the district. I wish everyone good health and peace in their homes throughout this year.”

Park Kyum-soo, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, said, “We deeply thank Gangbuk Saemaeul Geumgo for creating a place of sharing. Gangbuk-gu will also do its best to create a welfare city where everyone is happy without any neighbors being left out.”
