[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] The Gyeongbuk Women's Association announced on the 22nd that it donated 5 million won to the Gyeongbuk Social Welfare Community Chest as part of the 'Hope 2021 Sharing Campaign.'


Founded in 1980, the Gyeongbuk Women's Association currently consists of 23 provincial member organizations and 23 cooperative organizations (cities and counties). To practice sharing with neighbors in need in the region, it also joined the Sharing Leaders Club on this day.


The Sharing Leaders Club is a donor club operated by the Social Welfare Community Chest. Organizations and clubs can join by pledging to donate 10 million won within three years.


In March, the Gyeongbuk Women's Association donated 10 million won to support overcoming COVID-19. In August, it also sent relief supplies worth about 20 million won to residents in the areas affected by the heavy rains in Jeonnam, continuing steady donations.


Hong Soon-im, president of the Gyeongbuk Women's Association, said, "There are many neighbors around us who need a helping hand," adding, "As the year ends, I hope that the region's neighbors in difficulty can spend at least a warm winter."



Lee Cheol-woo, governor of Gyeongbuk Province, said, "Thank you for participating in practicing love for neighbors despite the difficult situation," and urged, "I hope the Gyeongbuk Women's Association will continue to show interest and participation so that the culture of donation and sharing spreads throughout society."
