National Tax Service Donates Goods and Funds to Underprivileged Groups... NTS Commissioner Hopes to Provide Help in Difficult Times

[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyunjung] The National Tax Service Social Volunteer Group visited Sarangui Jip Nursing Home located in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, delivering consolation items such as lunch boxes, fruit, blankets, and thermal underwear, along with donations. They also provided consolation items and funds non-face-to-face to Raphael's House located in Chebu-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and 40 underprivileged households in the Sejong area, the group announced on the 24th.

The National Tax Service visits and consoles neighbors in need, such as underprivileged children and elderly living alone, every year during holidays like Seol and Chuseok as part of spreading a culture of sharing. This year, due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and strengthened social distancing, they aimed to support small business owners facing economic difficulties and neighbors in need by purchasing lunch boxes and daily necessities (fruit, rice, blankets, thermal underwear) from local small business owners and delivering them.

In particular, this event gained more significance as the National Tax Service headquarters and seven regional offices joined forces to donate items purchased from local traditional markets, which are struggling due to decreased sales, to underprivileged groups.

Kim Daeji, Commissioner of the National Tax Service, stated, "Although it is a small token, I hope it helps small business owners and neighbors going through difficult times to have a warm and heartfelt Seol holiday."

Meanwhile, the seven regional National Tax Service offices located in each region also sponsored items such as fruit, rice, and blankets, as well as donations, to welfare facilities within their jurisdictions (including Namsanwon and six others).
