Gwangju Seo-gu, Warm Winter Sharing 'Kimjang Event'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shin Dong-ho] The self-governing organizations of Yudeok-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju, gathered on the 22nd with one heart and one mind to hold a kimchi-making sharing event to help underprivileged groups in the area have a warm winter.

This kimchi-making event involved members of the Yudeok-dong Community Security Council, Residents' Autonomy Committee, Tongjang Group, and Saemaeul Association self-governing organizations coming together to prepare ingredients, make seasonings, and mix them over five days, producing 300 heads of kimchi.

The kimchi, made with the sincere hands of the members, was delivered door-to-door to 200 vulnerable households in the area, including elderly living alone and disabled families who find it difficult to make kimchi themselves. They also checked on their well-being, sharing warm neighborly love and affection.

The executives of the Yudeok-dong self-governing organizations said, “We hope the kimchi, mixed with sincerity, will be a warm winter gift and comfort to our neighbors,” and added, “We are glad to have created an opportunity for the Yudeok-dong self-governing organizations to serve together with one heart and one mind.”

Lee Jong-jun, head of Yudeok-dong, stated, “I sincerely thank the members of the self-governing organizations who participated in the kimchi-making event to help neighbors despite the difficult situation caused by COVID-19,” and said, “We will continue to do our best so that the public and private sectors can unite and make local residents happier.”
