[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] The volunteer group of Jeonnam National University faculty and staff donated kimchi for kimjang to marginalized neighbors in the region.

According to Jeonnam National University One Step Volunteer Society (President Jeong Sang-chun, Manager) on the 15th, they visited the Yongbong-dong Administrative Welfare Center in Buk-gu, Gwangju, and the Uri Neighbor Disabled Living Support Center on the 9th to deliver kimjang kimchi.

'Sharing Love Kimjang Kimchi' is an annual sharing event where faculty, staff, and students participate directly in making kimchi, but considering the social distancing situation due to COVID-19, they donated finished kimchi again this year following last year.

President Jeong Sang-chun said, "I hope this small help will assist marginalized neighbors who are going through difficult times due to the increasingly cold weather and COVID-19 to get through the winter," adding, "We will continue to contribute to the development of the local community and carry on warm sharing activities."

The One Step Volunteer Society is a club composed of about 170 Jeonnam National University faculty and staff members. Every month, they provide a fixed amount of sponsorship to 25 low-income students from elementary, middle, and high schools and marginalized households, and annually support living scholarships to five undergraduate students at Jeonnam National University, conducting various sponsorship and volunteer activities.
