Yangcheon-gu, Strengthening Community Through Sharing: Chuseok Donation Campaign 추진

Donation sharing boxes installed at community centers and key local points by October 6 for collecting items; donation sharing campaign underway... Practicing neighborly love by sharing food and daily necessities stored at home

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) is conducting the 'Chuseok Donation Sharing Campaign' until October 6th in celebration of the Chuseok holiday.

The donation sharing campaign is an event aimed at creating a warm holiday by collecting food or daily necessities stored in each household and delivering them to neighbors in need.

The district has completed installing about 100 donation sharing boxes at community service centers, major local points in each neighborhood, district-run daycare centers, and comprehensive social welfare centers.

Residents who wish to participate can donate food items such as rice, ramen, canned goods, flour, beverages, and daily necessities such as soap, detergent, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and tissue paper in the sharing boxes. Items that can spoil at room temperature, such as frozen or refrigerated foods, side dishes, and instant foods, are excluded.

The donated items collected through warm hands will be delivered to neighbors in need through the 'Yangcheon-gu Food Bank & Market Center.'

The district is promoting a year-round donation sharing campaign in a form that residents can easily participate in continuously, aiming to spread a culture of sharing centered on individuals rather than companies.

Mayor Kim Soo-young said, "Through the Chuseok donation sharing campaign, we ask for the interest and cooperation of local residents, organizations, and companies so that our neighbors in welfare blind spots can have a plentiful and abundant Chuseok."

The donation sharing campaign is conducted year-round at the 'Yangcheon-gu Food Bank & Market Center,' not only during holidays. Individuals or organizations wishing to participate can contact the Yangcheon-gu Office Welfare Policy Division or the Yangcheon-gu Food Bank & Market Center for guidance.
