Gwangju Bank Donates 30,000 Masks to Suncheon City

Suncheon-si Joins Mask Wearing Campaign

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Gwangju Bank announced on the 2nd that it delivered 30,000 masks at Suncheon City Hall, attended by Song Jong-wook, President of Gwangju Bank, and Heo Seok, Mayor of Suncheon, among other officials.

As the spread of COVID-19 continues in the eastern Jeonnam region, including Suncheon and Gwangyang cities, Suncheon has raised social distancing to Level 2 and is actively implementing quarantine measures. Since November, the city has been conducting a mask distribution campaign, leading to a continuous stream of mask donations.

Gwangju Bank participated in Suncheon’s mask distribution campaign by delivering 30,000 masks to Suncheon City Hall. The delivered masks will be provided to Suncheon citizens who face financial burdens due to mandatory mask-wearing, as well as placed in major tourist sites, public places, and public transportation facilities in Suncheon to help prevent the spread of infection within the region.

Song Jong-wook, President of Gwangju Bank, said, “As the local economy suffers and the residents’ worries deepen day by day due to COVID-19, we hope that the masks delivered by Gwangju Bank will contribute to protecting the health and safety of Suncheon citizens and help overcome the COVID-19 crisis.” He added, “Going forward, as the representative bank of Jeonnam and Gwangju, we will continue to pursue values beyond profit through mutual growth with the region and take the lead in various social contribution activities to accompany the local community.”
