[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] The POSCO Gwangyang Steelworks Friends Volunteer Group (Leader Choi Chang-rok) shared kimchi they made themselves with neighbors near the steelworks on the 5th, delivering a warm and touching moment.

In celebration of October as the Month of the Elderly, the Gwangyang Steelworks Friends Volunteer Group held a kimchi-making event together with members of the Gaya Lions Club of Gwangyang City to help neighbors in need. They carefully prepared ‘Sarang Gadeukchan (饌) Nabak Kimchi’ using fresh ingredients they sourced themselves.

The kimchi-making event held on the 2nd was conducted with strict adherence to personal hygiene and participant temperature checks to prevent COVID-19 cluster infections. The prepared kimchi was shared at the Jungma Disabled Welfare Center in Gwangyang City on the 5th, and then delivered to the Jungma Disabled Welfare Center, Gwangyang Disabled Welfare Center, and Gwangyang Multicultural Family Center.

Notably, neighbors from multicultural families who formed bonds through volunteer activities also participated, adding special meaning to the event. Marriage immigrant women shared the kimchi they made with warm hearts with neighbors, contributing to the spread of a sharing culture in the local community.

Kim Hee-jun, president of the Gaya Lions Club of Gwangyang City, who volunteered alongside the Gwangyang Steelworks Friends Volunteer Group, said, “I hope our neighbors enjoy the kimchi made with sincerity,” and added, “We will continue to strive to promote a culture of sharing in the local community.”

Meanwhile, Gwangyang Steelworks actively pursues a company that works with the local community by operating a total of 43 talent volunteer groups. Following the establishment of five talent volunteer groups in the first half of this year, three new talent volunteer groups were launched in September, presenting a model where companies and society develop together through volunteer and sharing activities in various fields to coexist and prosper with the local community.
