Choi Youngseon, Secretary General of the foundation, said, "Regarding the spread of COVID-19 in the local community, after considering what we could do for low-income vulnerable groups, we judged that donating masks would be the most helpful."

In addition to Huam-dong, the foundation recently delivered 4,500 masks to Yongsan 2-ga Community Service Center and Seoul Station Shelter Counseling Center, attracting attention.

On the 18th, the Huam-dong Tongjang Association (Chairman Miran Park) donated 300,000 won in cash to the community service center. The center forwarded this to the Yongsan Welfare Foundation, requesting that it be used for the underprivileged.
