Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Ilhyung Lee) announced on the 7th that the Seoul Community Chest of Korea (Branch Manager Jaerok Kim), who visited Dongdaemun-gu Office, donated 35 million KRW to promote the 'Safe Line Protection Support Project.'

At the donation ceremony, Dongdaemun-gu Deputy Mayor Hongyeon Choi, Seoul Branch Manager Jaerok Kim, Executive Director Hyeyoung Shin, Team Leader Eunkyung Yoo, and Officer Kyungdon Jang attended.

The 'Safe Line Protection Project' is designed to support living expenses for low-income vulnerable groups and residents in welfare blind spots, which are increasing due to the rise in single-person households and economic recession, helping them resolve emergencies and maintain daily life. Support is provided to households with income within 120% of the median income, with 200,000 to 400,000 KRW for single-person households and 600,000 to 1,000,000 KRW for households of four or more members.

Jaerok Kim, Branch Manager of the Seoul Community Chest of Korea, said, “We thank everyone who has donated to the community’s Safe Line Protection Project for neighbors in need every year. With the summer heatwave intensifying, we hope the funds delivered today will be used well so that residents facing difficulties in Dongdaemun-gu can feel safe.”

Hongyeon Choi, Deputy Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, expressed gratitude, saying, “We appreciate the Seoul Branch of the Community Chest of Korea for donating funds to protect the safe line for economically vulnerable residents. We will continue to pay attention to neighbors in need and identify households below the safe line to ensure vulnerable residents can maintain their daily lives.”
