◆ Damyang 220 Volunteer Association donates Korean beef bone broth for vulnerable groups in Yong-myeon

The Damyang 220 Volunteer Association (President Park Youngsoo) entrusted 200 packs of beef bone broth (worth 1.2 million KRW) to the Yong-myeon office.

On this day, the Korean beef bone broth was prepared at the restaurant ‘Hanuji’ (CEO Nam Kihoon) located in Damyang-eup, operated by a member of the volunteer association, and was delivered to vulnerable elderly in Yong-myeon with hopes that they stay warm and healthy during the cold winter days.

The Damyang 220 Volunteer Association was formed in 2020 with 20 members who have the youthful passion of their twenties, and they carry out volunteer activities to help neighbors living in vulnerable environments.

Last December, they visited the home of a single elderly resident in Yongchi Village, Yong-myeon, to carry out housing environment improvement volunteer work, and plan to continue volunteer activities to support vulnerable groups in the local community.

President Park Youngsoo said, “I hope the donated items will warmly comfort the hearts and bodies of the vulnerable elderly in the community during these even more difficult times due to COVID-19.”
