Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) is actively sharing samgyetang ahead of Chobok, the first of the three hottest days in summer.

On the 23rd of last month, in Jangwi 1-dong, Bukseoul Saemaeul Geumgo (Chairman Maeng Yang-su) served samgyetang to about 300 elderly people at five senior centers. Additionally, samgyetang was delivered to vulnerable groups and middle-aged households at risk of isolation who have difficulty securing meals, practicing neighborly love through community sharing.

Volunteers from Bukseoul Saemaeul Geumgo gathered from the day before the event to prepare chicken broth and worked hard from early morning on the day of the event to make samgyetang. Chairman Maeng Yang-su of Bukseoul Saemaeul Geumgo said, “It is meaningful to participate in this filial piety sharing event for the elderly,” adding, “We wish for the elderly to have a healthy summer and longevity.”

On the 26th of last month, in Samseon-dong, the Samseon-dong Pigeon Volunteer Association (President Jang Gong-im) shared samgyetang with about 70 households, including elderly living alone and vulnerable groups, wishing for their healthy summer.

Despite the rainy and bad weather, members of the Pigeon Volunteer Association carefully prepared samgyetang and fresh kimchi to share. They personally delivered samgyetang and kimchi to neighbors with mobility difficulties. The scene of sharing was filled with warmth.

Jang Gong-im, president of the Samseon-dong Pigeon Volunteer Association, said, “I hope this small contribution helps elderly people exhausted by the heat regain their strength by eating the carefully prepared samgyetang.”

On the 27th of last month, in Seokgwan-dong, the Seokgwan-dong Saemaeul Women’s Association (President Kim Young-eun) delivered samgyetang and side dishes to about 100 households, including local senior centers, elderly living alone, and single middle-aged households.

About 10 members of the Seokgwan-dong Saemaeul Women’s Association used the community center space to prepare samgyetang and side dishes themselves. They individually packaged the meals and visited homes of neighbors with mobility difficulties to check on their well-being and keep them company.

Kim Eun-young, president of the Seokgwan-dong Saemaeul Women’s Association, said, “I hope neighbors exhausted by this year’s heat recover their strength and spend a healthy summer through this samgyetang sharing,” adding, “We thank Bukseoul Saemaeul Geumgo, Gangbuk Credit Union, Mibo Dental Clinic, Seongmo Hospital, Nanwoori Home Care Center, Hyoshin Home Care Center, Geumgang Studio, and Lee Pyeong-hee for sponsoring this sharing event.”

On the same day, in Gireum 2-dong, the Gireum 2-dong Saemaeul Women’s Association (President Moon Ok-bun) held a samgyetang sharing event. Members personally prepared the chicken and broth to make samgyetang, which they delivered to 130 households of elderly living alone and housing-vulnerable groups residing in goshiwon (small dormitories) and guesthouses, checking on their well-being.

Lee Seung-ro, mayor of Seongbuk-gu, said, “We will actively support vulnerable residents in our area so that they can overcome feelings of isolation through such sharing events,” adding, “The district will also strive to form a community that practices sharing and volunteering.”
