[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yongsu] Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 9th that it has stepped up to help farmers, fishermen, and vulnerable groups struggling due to COVID-19 ahead of the Seollal holiday.

On the 8th, 38 senior officials at the level of section chief or higher in Gangjin-gun decided to donate the disaster relief funds, which are being distributed at 100,000 won per resident to overcome the COVID-19 crisis, to neighbors in need.

Gangjin-gun officials decided to donate the disaster relief funds to support the depressed local economy ahead of the Seollal holiday, share the pain of the residents, and spread a culture of overcoming the crisis together. They plan to purchase goods and deliver them to vulnerable groups in the region.

Also, on the 9th, through voluntary participation of public officials, the ‘Public Officials’ Seollal Good Gift Sharing Campaign’ was held, purchasing local agricultural, livestock, and marine products to deliver as holiday gifts to socially vulnerable groups.

Gangjin-gun public officials voluntarily raised funds to purchase agricultural, livestock, and marine products produced in Gangjin and delivered them to social welfare facilities such as Boeunjae Welfare Center in Gundo-myeon and Sarangdungji in Byeongyeong-myeon.

This is not the first time Gangjin-gun officials have taken the lead in participation.

In March last year, when the local economy was depressed due to the spread of COVID-19 and small business owners’ management difficulties intensified, 37 senior officials donated 37 million won, which was the total amount of their salary raises over four months, as COVID-19 relief funds, drawing great attention.

In addition, Gangjin-gun public officials have continuously participated in revitalizing the local economy by voluntarily conducting the ‘Cheongjagol Rose Gift Campaign’ to help flower farmers facing difficult management, purchasing 7,750 roses (worth 7.75 million won) to date.

Lee Junbeom, Director of Planning and Public Relations, said, “In the prolonged COVID-19 crisis, public officials voluntarily stepped forward to reduce the pain of residents who are enduring more difficult times than ever before. We will overcome this national crisis together through sharing and consideration.”
