[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] In various locations throughout Jangwi 3-dong, Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) continues to share kimchi for vulnerable groups.

On the 20th, Jangwi Jeil Church (Senior Pastor Shin Il-kwon) delivered 200kg of kimchi, made for neighbors in need within the community, to the Jangwi 3-dong Community Service Center. The kimchi was distributed to 40 low-income households in Jangwi 3-dong.

A resident who received the kimchi expressed gratitude, saying, "The price of napa cabbage and kimchi ingredients has risen a lot compared to last year, so I was going to give up on making kimchi this winter, but I am very thankful to receive homemade kimchi like this."

Pastor Shin Il-kwon of Jangwi Jeil Church, who organized the event, said, "The congregation gathered early in the morning and made kimchi with all their sincerity. I hope this can be even a small help to neighbors going through difficult times due to COVID-19."

Seongbuk-gu Mayor Lee Seung-ro, who attended the kimchi sharing event, said, "I am very grateful that religious organizations, which are facing difficulties due to COVID-19, actively participate in practicing neighborly love. I hope the message of hope and comfort reaches those in need well."

On the 23rd, the Jangwi 3-dong Saemaeul Women's Association (President Kim Seon-ju) also joined the sharing by holding the '2021 Love Kimchi Sharing Event.'

Despite the cold weather, members of the Saemaeul Women's Association gathered early in the morning, carefully prepared the napa cabbage and ingredients, and delivered 10kg of kimchi and 2kg of rice cake soup rice cakes to 40 low-income households in the district.

Kim Seon-ju, president of the Jangwi 3-dong Saemaeul Women's Association, said, "Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, it has become difficult for neighbors to use welfare centers or facilities, so we wanted to practice a small act of sharing. We are very happy to share the kimchi we made with sincerity with neighbors in need, and we hope everyone has a warm winter."

Mayor Lee Seung-ro, who attended the event, said, "I thank the religious organizations and the Saemaeul Women's Association of Jangwi 3-dong for gathering early in the morning to extend warm hands to neighbors. Seongbuk-gu will also make further efforts through linking welfare systems so that neighbors in need are not isolated and can spend a warm winter."
