<기사제목>Korea SMEs and Startups Agency Gwangju Jeonnam Headquarters Supports Revitalization of Traditional Markets

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangju-Jeonnam Regional Headquarters of the Korea Federation of SMEs (Chairman Lim Kyung-jun) conducted a project on the 16th at Yangdong Market titled "Revitalizing Traditional Markets and Ensuring a Warm Chuseok Holiday for the Underprivileged."

This project involved purchasing goods from traditional markets using a fund of 10 million KRW, donated collectively by local cooperatives and small business owners, to support neighbors in need. The supplies will be delivered to about 10 local welfare facilities.

This support added significance by directly purchasing food ingredients with the aim of revitalizing the domestic market and encouraging the use of traditional markets.

Earlier this month, as part of a sharing project for the underprivileged during the holiday season, food ingredient kits consisting of beef soup cuts, glass noodles, and mixed grains rice were donated for 2,500 people to 14 regional welfare institutions.

Lim Kyung-jun, Chairman of the Korea Federation of SMEs Gwangju-Jeonnam Headquarters, said, "Through this support, I hope everyone has a bountiful and happy Chuseok holiday, and although times are difficult, I hope this serves as an opportunity to look back on the vulnerable groups around us who are marginalized."
