56.5 Million Won Delivered for Fans and Blankets Support to Heat-Vulnerable Groups

On the 13th at 10 a.m., Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam announced in the reception room that BNK Gyeongnam Bank donated summer supplies to help low-income families stay cool during the summer.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam announced on the morning of the 13th at 10 a.m. in the reception room that BNK Gyeongnam Bank donated 1,000 fans and 1,000 summer blankets (valued at 56.5 million KRW) to help low-income families stay cool during the summer.

The fans and summer blankets were donated by BNK Gyeongnam Bank in celebration of Changwon City's "Cool Summer Sharing Week" to support disabled persons, elderly living alone, and marginalized households vulnerable to the scorching summer heat. These items will be distributed to 2,000 vulnerable households through the five district offices.

BNK Gyeongnam Bank actively participates in sharing activities to support marginalized groups in the local community by donating cash and goods such as Changwon Love Gift Certificates during Lunar New Year and Chuseok, summer supplies in the hot season, kimchi for winter, and gift boxes every year.

Bank President Choi Hong-young said, "We have supported fans for vulnerable groups in our region every year, but this year, due to the severe heatwave and high oil prices coinciding, we anticipated that energy-vulnerable neighbors would face difficulties in getting through the summer. Therefore, we invested an additional 20 million KRW compared to last year to also provide summer blankets. We hope that more neighbors can have a cool and healthy summer."

Mayor Hong Nam-pyo said, "As a regional bank, BNK Gyeongnam Bank not only serves as a financial vault for local residents but also greatly contributes to corporate and economic revitalization. We appreciate their concern for neighbors struggling with the heat. We will carefully deliver the fans and blankets to those in need who are suffering from the heat."
