[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Kim Su-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, is receiving applause for moving from 'good consumption' to 'good donation.'


Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Su-young), which spread good consumption nationwide, is now promoting the 'Adding Heart to Heart' good consumption campaign using the government's emergency disaster relief funds.


This campaign aims to simultaneously practice 'good consumption' to revitalize local businesses using the government emergency disaster relief funds (hereafter 'emergency disaster relief funds') and 'good sharing' to share hearts with neighbors, creating a culture of good consumption with the emergency disaster relief funds.


As the first step, the district plans to place donation boxes in each neighborhood and department, and until the 25th, collect donations of groceries and daily necessities purchased with the emergency disaster relief funds from willing employees to donate to the Yangcheon-gu Food Bank Market Center.


This is expected to greatly help the Food Bank Market Center, which is struggling with a shortage of donated goods due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.


On the 14th, Mayor Kim Su-young visited a local mart, purchased daily necessities such as toilet paper with the government emergency disaster relief funds, and delivered them to the Yangcheon Food Bank Market Center, asking that they be used for neighbors in need, thus participating in good consumption.



Mayor Kim said, “We launched good consumption using the emergency disaster relief funds to realize the purpose of revitalizing the local economy and caring for neighbors in need. I hope the voluntary participation of employees who buy one more item when purchasing goods with the emergency disaster relief funds, practicing good consumption and good sharing, will serve as a model and spread positive influence nationwide.”
