Gwangju Seo-gu Nongsung 1-dong 'Kimjang Kimchi Sharing Project' Promotion

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shin Dong-ho] The Community Security Council of Nongsung 1-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Private Chairman Jo Young-sook) announced on the 21st that it carried out the "Winter Food Kimchi Sharing Project" on the 18th to help neighbors in need in the area.

The event, hosted by the Nongsung 1-dong Community Security Council, was supported and cooperated by self-governing organizations such as the Residents' Love Council, the Tongjang Group, and the Saemaeul Women's Association. About 45 members salted and mixed napa cabbages and radishes harvested from the village garden over three days to make 650 heads (2000kg) of kimchi.

The kimchi, made with the sincere hands of the members, was delivered to 240 vulnerable households in the district, including elderly living alone and disabled families who have difficulty making kimchi themselves. They visited these households, delivered the kimchi, checked on their well-being, and shared warm neighborly love.

Jo Young-sook, chairman of the Nongsung 1-dong Community Security Council, said, "I hope the kimchi made with sincerity will be a warm comfort and gift to our neighbors."

Meanwhile, the Nongsung 1-dong Community Security Council runs the "Care Neighbor Healthy Side Dish Sharing Project," where they make kimchi and side dishes themselves and support 50 care-neighbor households every month.

This month, they are also conducting various projects to improve local welfare, including a campaign to discover welfare blind spots to achieve zero welfare blind spots.
