The district announced that a donation relay by merchants, residents, and organizations in Jang-an 1-dong to help neighbors facing difficulties is ongoing.
The donation began with Hwang Jeong-hwa, the owner of Surabanchan Specialty Store. Due to the delay in school reopening, she voluntarily sponsored soup and side dishes for 30 children in 12 households who had difficulty having lunch for six days. In addition, she actively encouraged nearby merchants to join the support, leading to participation from neighboring merchants.
Agreeing with Hwang Jeong-hwa's donation purpose, Lim Jang-sim, CEO of Sanghee Fashion, donated 912 cup noodles; Kim Du-young, CEO of Warm Bread, donated 10 loaves of bread; and acquaintances (sisters Lee Joo-ah & Lee Ji-ah) donated 108 instant rice packs, conveying warm hearts to neighbors in need.
Along with this, Han Seung-heum, chairman of the Jang-an 1-dong Hope Welfare Committee, donated 1,200 masks, and the Hope Welfare Committee plans to deliver one geun each of pork belly and neck meat to 10 households with 25 people at risk of food insecurity.
An anonymous resident also left 200 masks labeled "Please share with the local underprivileged. Jang-an 1-dong residents" at the entrance of the Jang-an 1-dong Community Center.
Jang-an 1-dong plans to deliver the donated items to residents who truly need them.
