Dongshin University Faculty and Staff Join Forces to Support Small Business Owners Struggling Due to COVID-19 Impact

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Faculty and staff at Dongshin University have joined forces to support local small business owners facing economic difficulties due to the impact of COVID-19.

According to Dongshin University on the 12th, the faculty and staff mutual aid associations recently canceled their annual first-half social gathering event to comply with the government's social distancing guidelines.

Instead, to contribute to revitalizing the local economy affected by COVID-19, they saved the event costs and purchased Naju Sarang gift certificates.

They distributed gift certificates worth 50,000 KRW per person to 245 faculty members and 97 staff members, totaling 17.1 million KRW.

Through this, they expect to help small business owners struggling due to COVID-19 and contribute to the revitalization of the local economy.

Additionally, they created placards saying "Small Business Owners, Stay Strong!" and "Dongshin University Supports You!" to run a campaign encouraging local small business owners.

Earlier, 60 faculty and staff members participated in Naju City's "Buy Strawberries with Love" campaign, purchasing 227 boxes (1 kg each) of strawberries from three farms in the Naju area (worth approximately 2.27 million KRW). They also joined a campaign to buy 1,000 roses to support local floriculture farmers facing difficulties due to COVID-19.
