Suncheon City Successfully Completes Sharing Campaign to Support Wildfire Victims in Gyeongbuk and Gangwon Regions

Recruitment of Relief Supplies Worth a Total of 110 Million Won Over 4 Days

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 14th that the relief supplies sharing campaign for wildfire victims in the Gyeongbuk and Gangwon regions, conducted from the 7th to the 11th, was successfully completed with enthusiastic support from citizens.

The sharing campaign, initiated to deliver the warm hearts of Suncheon citizens to victims struggling with the large-scale wildfire disaster, raised a total of 110 million KRW over four days through active participation from local businesses, institutions, organizations, and general citizens (approximately 85 million KRW in relief supplies and about 25 million KRW in donations).

On the 8th, about 10 tons of relief supplies were transported to the relief site in Uljin, Gyeongbuk, and delivered to firefighters and victims at the fire scene.

Considering the current saturation of relief supplies in the Gyeongbuk and Gangwon regions, making transportation and storage difficult, the Korean Red Cross plans to carry out long-term relief and support activities for victims in these areas.

In particular, citizen participation stood out during the relief supplies sharing campaign.

Volunteers contributed warmth through sharing and service by participating in all processes, including donating relief supplies and money, operating donation sites, loading and unloading relief supplies, and transporting and moving relief supplies.

Mayor Heo Seok of Suncheon said, “I am grateful that many citizens participated in this meaningful sharing and volunteering,” and added, “We will continue to gather the warm hearts of Suncheon citizens to support efforts whenever various disasters occur.”
