[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] The Financial Supervisory Service announced that it delivered 1.31 billion KRW in donations from 23 financial companies to the Salvation Army on the 24th as part of the "Areumdaun Nanum" (Beautiful Sharing) campaign.

"Areumdaun Nanum" is a representative social contribution activity in the financial sector, organized by the Salvation Army and launched in 2011.

This year as well, each participating institution voluntarily joined the fundraising to fulfill their social responsibilities, and the Financial Supervisory Service explained that donations were made non-face-to-face without a separate event to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The Salvation Army is conducting the "Kkumkkuneun Jari" (Dreaming Place) project, which establishes libraries in social welfare facilities nationwide using the "Areumdaun Nanum" donations.

Additionally, the Salvation Army has newly launched the "Areumdaun Donghaeng" (Beautiful Companion) project, which purchases daily necessities at traditional markets to deliver to low-income families and supports households affected by disasters such as the monsoon season.
