[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongbuk-gu Jongam-dong Community Service Center (Director Lee Ki-young) shared a heartwarming story that on the 27th, ahead of the Lunar New Year, it received a donation of sixty 10kg bags of white rice and 1 million won in cash from Sae Jongam Saemaeul Geumgo (Chairman Kim Seong-hee).

The donated items were prepared through the Love’s Jomdori Campaign.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the distribution of goods was staggered by dividing recipients into groups and distributing them at different times. One resident who attended said, “It was a meaningful time to exchange brief greetings with neighbors through the gift delivery ceremony.”

At the end of last year, Sae Jongam Saemaeul Geumgo, which has taken the lead in loving neighbors by donating pajamas and ramen to underprivileged groups facing difficulties, also donated 1 million won in cash, asking that it be used for the food sharing project “One Side Dish, One Fruit Project” for low-income residents in Jongam-dong.

On the 26th, there was news of a donation of ‘kim’ gift sets from Jongam Jeil Church (Senior Pastor Woo Sang-hyun). Jongam Jeil Church, which cared for marginalized neighbors by delivering food gift sets last Chuseok, continues to carry out village volunteer work and neighborly aid within the community, exerting a positive influence as a religious organization in the local society.

Meanwhile, warm gestures toward neighbors have been continuing in Jongam-dong since the beginning of the new year. Despite difficulties caused by COVID-19, local volunteer patrols, religious groups, and merchants have continuously expressed their willingness to donate through the community service center.

A community service center official said, “We hope that neighborly helping hands like today’s will continue so that the marginalized neighbors around us can spend the rest of the winter warmly.”
