Junggu Hwanghak-dong Kim Tae-hee Tongjang "Now Is the Time to Unite Our Hearts" Delivers Handwritten Letter and 1 Million Won

Donations Continue with Disposable and Dust Masks, Vitamins, Disinfectants, and 30 Boxes of Bananas

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the 17th, an envelope containing 1 million won and a handwritten letter were delivered to the Hwanghak-dong Community Center in Jung-gu, Seoul. Kim Tae-hee (female, 38), who manages the bankbook in Hwanghak-dong, visited the community center and handed it to the staff.

On pink stationery, it was handwritten: "It is a small amount, but I wanted to help with COVID-19, so I am offering my heart. When I was young during the IMF crisis, I heard that adults collected gold, but now that I am grown, I think we need to gather our hearts. Stay strong."

Kim said, "Close acquaintances who run small shops and the boss of a barley rice restaurant are closing their doors because they cannot even receive one table of customers," adding, "It is not a large sum, but I hope it can offer some comfort to merchants and vulnerable groups."

Jang Young, chairman of the Hwanghak-dong Filial Piety Promotion Committee and CEO of Nobel Distribution, donated a total of 300 masks to the community center on the 4th and 11th. While purchasing masks for company employees, he worried that masks might be insufficient for medical staff, vulnerable groups, and employees who truly need them, so he donated precious masks to the community center.

Shin Hye-soon, CEO of Christy Hotel in Hwanghak-dong, also delivered 54 bottles of vitamins with the hope that people exhausted by COVID-19 would gain strength and overcome this crisis.

On the 18th, two employees of P&Trade, located in Hyehyeon-dong, visited the Hyehyeon-dong Community Center carrying a box containing 200 dust masks. A note attached to the box read, "We support all medical staff and disaster headquarters personnel working in the Republic of Korea. We hope this can be of some help."

There were also donations of disinfectants. On the 6th, Adam Cleaning (CEO Lim Tae-ho) of MaeKyung C&B delivered 100 containers of 20ℓ disinfectant needed for quarantine activities to the district office, wishing to overcome COVID-19. The donated disinfectant is being effectively used for disinfecting vulnerable areas.

In the Myeongdong Tourism Special Zone, 30 boxes full of banana bunches and 100 sets of bread and milk were sent to the Jung-gu Public Health Center to support and encourage staff working on emergency duty.

Seo Yang-ho, mayor of Jung-gu, said, "Your support and encouragement to our staff, who are continuously under tension preparing for the prolonged COVID-19 battle, are like rain in a drought. I believe your warm hearts will surely melt the cold wave of COVID-19. I sincerely thank everyone who has participated in overcoming this crisis, and the district office promises to do its best until the end."
