Residents of Jongam-dong, Seongbuk-gu Roll Up Their Sleeves to Alleviate Blood Shortage Amid Prolonged COVID-19... 'Beautiful Blood Donation Service' by Jongam-dong Residents Continues for Years, Not Just One-Time Event... Held at Dong Resident Center from 10 AM to 4 PM on the 27th

The event held for the 3rd Blood Donation Day in 2018

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] The Jongam-dong Residents' Autonomous Committee in Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) will hold the '5th Jongam-dong Residents' Blood Donation Day' event at the Dong Resident Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the 27th to contribute to the sharing of life.

The 'Residents' Blood Donation Day,' organized by the Residents' Autonomous Committee, is not a one-time event but a regularly held resident-led participation event. Since 2017, it has been conducted annually through a blood donation agreement with the Korean Red Cross Eastern Blood Center.

In particular, amid the nationwide blood supply shortage caused by COVID-19, it is significant that residents are actively stepping forward with the Residents' Autonomous Committee at the core.

Lee Byung-han, chairman of the Residents' Autonomous Committee, said, "There are many group blood donation events hosted by other regions, but Jongam-dong Residents' Blood Donation Day is a meaningful event proposed and carried out by the residents themselves," and added, "We ask for the active participation of all residents."

To prevent COVID-19 infection, this year's Residents' Blood Donation Day will be conducted by advance reservation. Applicants will be distributed by time slots to minimize waiting numbers and to maintain social distancing in the blood collection area.

Residents who wish to participate in Blood Donation Day can apply by phone to the Jongam-dong Residents' Autonomous Committee and visit the Jongam-dong Resident Center at the appointed time with their ID.

Additionally, event officials stated, "After blood donation on the day, the blood donation certificates voluntarily donated by residents will be collected and partially donated to the Korea Blood Cancer Association, with the remaining portion used where needed within the community to provide practical help to the local society."
