Gwangju Bank Launches 'Share Love Through Blood Donation' Campaign

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Bank (President Song Jong-wook) announced on the 25th that it held the 'Share Love through Blood Donation' campaign at its headquarters.

Since 2018, Gwangju Bank has been conducting blood donation campaigns with the voluntary participation of its employees every year during the winter season when blood supply is difficult, to stabilize blood supply and share the preciousness of life.

Every winter, blood supply is difficult due to the vacations of high school and university students who make up the majority of blood donors. This year, the situation is especially challenging as prolonged COVID-19 has reduced outdoor activities and increased the burden of perception regarding blood donation, making blood supply even less smooth.

Accordingly, Gwangju Bank conducted the blood donation campaign minimizing contact between employees in accordance with COVID-19 social distancing guidelines, and active participation from employees continued with the spirit of overcoming regional difficulties together.

Im Sook-kyung, Head of Social Contribution Department at Gwangju Bank, said, “We hope that the small acts of sharing the hearts of Gwangju Bank employees will contribute to saving precious lives, and that this blood donation campaign will spread positive influence in the local community, leading to increased positive interest and participation in blood donation. As a representative bank of Gwangju and Jeonnam, we will continue to practice various social contribution activities based on sustained interest in local issues, coexist with the region, and walk together with local residents.”
