[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] DGB Financial Group announced on the 10th that it visited Ponae 2-ri, Yeongsun-myeon, Mungyeong City to conduct volunteer activities to help rural areas facing labor shortages and other difficulties due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

About 50 people, including the DGB Daegu Bank Mungyeong Love Volunteer Group and the With-U University Student Volunteer Group composed of local university students, visited nearby sweet potato and garlic fields to assist with farm labor.

After the volunteer activities, a purchase agreement ceremony for Mungyeong agricultural products was held at Mungyeong City Hall to help sell agricultural products struggling with distribution due to COVID-19. The rice, onions, garlic, and shiitake mushroom powder purchased that day will be donated to social welfare institutions in the Mungyeong area.

DGB Daegu Bank has been providing various support activities such as donating a total of 1 billion KRW, with 500 million KRW each to Daegu and Gyeongbuk, delivering 100 million KRW raised by employees themselves, and 50 million KRW from DGB Financial Group employees, along with volunteer activities including helping rural labor shortages and employee blood donations to overcome COVID-19.

Chairman Kim Tae-oh said, "We conducted volunteer activities by the volunteer members to help with rural labor shortages and poor agricultural product sales, which continue due to COVID-19," and added, "We will continue various support for regions facing difficulties."
