Deokyeon-dong, Suncheon-si, Saemaeul Women's Association 'Love-filled Kimchi Sharing'

Continuous Sharing Practice for Neighbors in Need in the Region with Support from Emart Suncheon Branch

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The "Love-filled Kimchi Sharing Event" was held yesterday in Deokyeon-dong, Suncheon City.

In this event, Emart Suncheon Branch (Branch Manager Ahn Young-il) donated 3 million KRW for kimchi-making expenses to the Deokyeon-dong Saemaeul Women's Association, which purchased 150 packs of 3.5kg kimchi and delivered them to 100 neighbors in need while checking on their well-being.

The Deokyeon-dong Saemaeul Women's Association had planned to make kimchi themselves and deliver it, but could not do so due to the COVID-19 situation.

Ahn Young-il, branch manager of Emart Suncheon, said, "I hope this helps those who are marginalized and struggling to have a warm winter, even if just a little." He added, "We will continue to strive to practice sharing for neighbors in need."

Choi Soon, president of the Deokyeon-dong Saemaeul Women's Association, said, "This year, due to the regional spread of COVID-19, we could not make kimchi ourselves and had to purchase it like this, which is regrettable." She continued, "However, I am grateful to Emart Suncheon Branch for enabling us to share kimchi with those who look forward to it every year."

The Deokyeon-dong Saemaeul Women's Association has been active as an icon of love and service in Deokyeon-dong by donating 1,000 masks for the mask distribution campaign to overcome COVID-19, producing and distributing disinfectants, and participating in flood recovery efforts in Gurye.

Also, Emart Suncheon Branch has been continuously practicing the love of sharing for local neighbors in need by donating heating supplies and daily necessities every year.
