[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] On August 26 at 4 p.m., the Gumi Nonghyup Nanumhoe, composed of executives and employees of the Gumi Agricultural Cooperative, donated 5 million won in cash, and at 4:30 p.m., the Beopunsa Beopunsa Hoe Welfare Association at Geumosan Temple donated rice (10kg, 251 bags) and dental masks (100,000 pieces) worth 17 million won for low-income vulnerable groups in the district.

The Gumi Nonghyup Nanumhoe was formed in 2018 with about 100 employees to participate in the local community sharing culture. They have been accumulating a certain amount of their monthly salary as donations and have continued community contribution activities for several years, including supporting marginalized groups, helping neighbors in need, assisting rural labor, and sponsoring kimchi for kimjang.

The donated funds this time will be used for the ‘Gumi Hope Plus Project’ to support low-income families facing multiple crises in the district.

The Beopunsa Hoe Welfare Association, affiliated with Geumosan Beopunsa Temple, was established in 2002 and has continuously supported underprivileged neighbors, scholarships, meal expenses, and medical expenses every year. Earlier this year, they also supported donations worth about 17.3 million won, including Gumi Love Gift Certificates, in three rounds.

The donated goods this time will be delivered through administrative welfare centers and social welfare facilities so that vulnerable groups experiencing difficulties can have a rich Chuseok holiday.

Mayor Jangho Kim expressed his gratitude, saying, “I thank the Gumi Nonghyup Nanumhoe and Beopunsa Beopunsa Hoe Welfare Association for practicing the warmth of sharing without forgetting neighbors in need. I will do my best to create a welfare city where socially disadvantaged people are not excluded, reflecting your hearts that always care for neighbors and practice sharing.”
