Gwangju Bank Holds Full Moon Wish Gift Event for Chuseok

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Gwangju Bank announced on the 7th that it held an event on the 6th inviting single-parent and multicultural families from the region to its headquarters to deliver holiday gifts.

The Full Moon Wish Gift event, held annually by Gwangju Bank during Chuseok, is a social contribution activity that shares the warmth of the holiday by listening to and delivering the gifts wished for by children in difficult circumstances in the region.

Through this event, Gwangju Bank sponsored daily necessities such as dolls and winter clothing, as well as therapy costs for language treatment for a child, to a single-parent family where a child with autism and the mother live alone. For a multicultural family where a foreign mother lives alone with her child, the bank gifted a wardrobe, sofa, and children's books, delivering a total of 10 million KRW in sponsorship funds.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, volunteer activities were conducted by visiting each home to meet and talk with the children directly and help improve the home environment. However, due to the recent resurgence of COVID-19 and for infection prevention, the event was held by inviting the mothers to the headquarters to deliver the gifts.

Song Jong-wook, President of Gwangju Bank, said, “I hope that children do not lose their dreams and hopes despite difficult circumstances and grow up healthy. As a representative bank of Gwangju and Jeonnam, we will carry out social contribution activities needed by all sectors of the region and do our best to fulfill our social responsibility to share values beyond profits together with the local community.”
