[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyunjung] On the 30th of last month, NongHyup visited the farms of elderly farmers in Yesan-gun, Chungnam Province. The event was attended by Hong Moonpyo, member of the National Assembly's Agriculture, Forestry, Livestock, Food, and Maritime Affairs Committee; Hwang Seonbong, Yesan County Governor; Lee Seonghee, Chairman of NongHyup Central Association; and the "Farmers' Hope Volunteer Group" for the Love House Repair project. The volunteer group donated home appliances such as a Love PC and large TVs, as well as daily necessities and quarantine supplies to the farms and the Yongri Village Hall in Yesan-gun.

The NongHyup Love House Repair Farmers' Hope Volunteer Group was voluntarily formed in 2005 by NongHyup employees with specialized skills in construction, electricity, and machinery. They have been touring nationwide every month, and to date, a total of about 8,300 people have provided free volunteer services to 779 households, including repairing old houses, replacing boilers and water pipes, and changing electrical wiring and lighting. They have helped elderly farmers, multicultural families, and children’s households establish new homes. Participants strictly adhered to COVID-19 prevention measures such as wearing masks, social distancing, and temperature checks during the event.

Lee Seonghee, Chairman of NongHyup Central Association, said, "We will continue to create a 'NongHyup Together' with farmers and the public through various activities aimed at improving farmers' welfare and regional community development."
