Warm Acts of Love Delivered by Hand in Jongam-dong, Seongbuk-gu

Lunar New Year, Sharing the Harmony of Love Donations... A Culture of Giving United by Religious Groups, Companies, and Various Communities

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Ahead of the 2020 Lunar New Year holiday, on the 15th, Jongam-dong in Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) was filled with footsteps practicing neighborly love.

The first to step forward was the Jongam-dong Church Association, which prepared 100 bags of white rice for low-income families including elderly living alone, case management targets, and those in welfare blind spots.

The association, composed of 17 churches in Jongam-dong, has been donating white rice every holiday for neighbors, serving as a good example of sharing activities.

Following religious donations, contributions from various sectors such as companies continued. Wooyoung Development Co., Ltd., operating in Jongam-dong, donated 80 bags of white rice with a request to deliver them to families in need.

Additionally, a daycare center and a Taekwondo academy donated piggy banks and ramen that children had saved with their small hands, raising the warmth of love even higher.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thanks to many loving hands sending help from unseen places, 2020 will be an even warmer year,” and urged efforts to actively promote a culture of donation.
