Gwangju Bank Leads Volunteer Efforts for Heavy Rain Damage Recovery

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Bank (President Song Jong-wook) announced on the 11th that it conducted volunteer work to assist in disaster recovery at the Gwangju Metropolitan City Disabled Comprehensive Welfare Center in Dongnim-dong, Buk-gu, Gwangju.

The Gwangju and Jeonnam regions have experienced flooding damage and river overflows due to record-breaking heavy rains since the 6th, creating an urgent need for manpower support for disaster recovery.

In response, Gwangju Bank launched a volunteer group for flood damage recovery and demonstrated a swift and determined commitment to volunteer activities.

Subsequently, President Song Jong-wook of Gwangju Bank and about 30 executives and employees delivered dehumidifiers to the Gwangju Metropolitan City Disabled Comprehensive Welfare Center, which suffered flood damage, and worked hard to quickly restore the facility by removing soil that had flowed down from the mountains and covered the building, and wiping wet furniture.

President Song Jong-wook said, “During these difficult times due to the impact of COVID-19, I wanted to offer warm comfort to the local residents who are discouraged by the additional damage caused by the heavy rains, so I visited the disaster recovery site with the executives and employees. In addition, we will do our best to fulfill our role as the representative bank of Gwangju and Jeonnam by devising practical support measures to minimize the damage caused by the heavy rains in the region, including providing special financial support.”
