Gwangju Bank Conducts 'Yeontan Sharing Volunteer Activity' for Vulnerable Groups

Bank President Song Jong-ok and New Employees Deliver 1,000 Briquettes... Also Donate 5 Million Won in Sponsorship Funds

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Bank (President Song Jong-wook) announced on the 11th that it carried out a 'Briquette Sharing Volunteer Activity' for vulnerable households in Dongnim-dong, Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

This volunteer activity involved President Song Jong-wook of Gwangju Bank and new employees who were finally selected in the second half of 2020 new employee recruitment and are undergoing training until the 31st, together moving and stacking 1,000 briquettes in a warehouse.

Before the briquette sharing volunteer activity, a donation of 5 million won was delivered to the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation Gwangju Regional Headquarters to support heating for vulnerable groups during winter, adding a warm meaning to the sharing volunteer work.

Earlier, on the 9th, Gwangju Bank also participated in kimchi-sharing volunteer activities at Mudeung Childcare Center in Unnim-dong, Dong-gu, spreading warmth throughout the local community.

President Song Jong-wook of Gwangju Bank said, “Due to social distancing from COVID-19 and the economic downturn, briquette volunteer activities and donations have significantly decreased, which is regrettable. We will do our best to fulfill the social responsibilities of Gwangju and Jeonnam’s representative bank so that Gwangju Bank’s social contribution activities can ignite the flame of sharing in the local community. We will also continue to lead mutual development with the region by delivering warmth to marginalized neighbors through various social contribution activities.”

Meanwhile, voluntary participation of Gwangju Bank employees in social contribution activities practicing local love is actively attracting attention.

Employees share their hearts in kimchi-sharing and briquette delivery volunteer activities conducted every winter, as well as quarterly volunteer activities carried out by each branch and sub-branch. Last summer, a volunteer group composed of employees was launched and dispatched to recovery sites in areas damaged by typhoons and heavy rains. In addition, employees directly produced 2,000 emergency relief boxes to overcome the COVID-19 crisis, which were delivered to vulnerable groups and medical staff.
