Yangcheon-gu, a Cool~ Donation Campaign

Together with Yangcheon-gu Volunteer Center, the 'Ice Pack Hari (Hi, Reuse) Campaign'... Creating pouches filled with ice packs to donate to heat-vulnerable groups and outdoor workers

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Sooyoung) is conducting the "Ice Pack Hari (Hi, Reuse) Campaign" until July 17.

Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), online grocery shopping has become a daily routine to minimize face-to-face contact, leading to an increase in the use of ice packs to maintain freshness.

In response, the district is running the "Ice Pack Hari Campaign," where residents place used ice packs into ice pack pouches they make themselves and donate them to vulnerable groups suffering from heatwaves and outdoor workers. This campaign aims to protect the environment while helping those vulnerable to extreme heat.

Those who wish to participate can do so in two ways: by making and donating ice pack pouches or by donating ice packs directly. To make ice pack pouches, participants can refer to the video uploaded on the YouTube channel "Yangcheon Jabon" and then donate the pouches to the Yangcheon-gu Volunteer Center.

Residents who want to donate ice packs can do so by July 30 at the Yangcheon-gu Volunteer Center or at 13 social welfare institutions within Yangcheon-gu (refer to the Yangcheon-gu Volunteer Center website for details).

Kim Sooyoung, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, "The Korea Meteorological Administration has forecasted the hottest heatwave ever this year, and temperatures continue to rise daily." He added, "We ask for active participation in the 'Ice Pack Hari Campaign,' which delivers cool ice pack pouches to vulnerable groups and outdoor workers to help them get through the hot summer while also practicing environmental protection."
