Seoul Agro-Fisheries & Food Corporation Distributes Ancestral Ritual Items and Fruits for Chuseok

Songpa-gu Office Collaborates with Public Interest Corporation Hope Nanum Market to Consistently Conduct Annual Holiday Support Projects... Providing Ritual Supply Sets to 300 Low-Income Households and Seasonal Fruits to Welfare Facilities in Songpa-gu

The Seoul Agro-Fisheries & Food Corporation (President Moon Young-pyo), together with the public interest corporation Hope Sharing Market (Chairman Hong Seong-ho), established by distributors of Garak Market, held a sharing event on the 25th for vulnerable groups such as low-income families and welfare facilities in Songpa-gu ahead of Chuseok.

As a public wholesale market, Garak Market conducts consistent support projects every holiday to practice care and love for the vulnerable groups in Songpa-gu. For this event, they prepared and delivered 300 sets of ritual items and seasonal fruits such as apples, pears, and grapes worth approximately 22 million KRW.

The ritual items consist of nine various products essential for the Chuseok ancestral rites table, including apples, pears, jujubes, dried pollack, yakgwa (honey cookies), sanja (fried dough rings), gim (seaweed), pancake mix, and frying powder, which have received high satisfaction from the vulnerable recipients.

Especially this Chuseok, due to high inflation and increased fruit prices, it is expected that vulnerable groups will face many difficulties preparing for the holiday. To ensure a prosperous holiday, the budget was increased compared to previous years to prepare ritual items and seasonal fruits. On the day of the event, these were distributed to low-income households and vulnerable welfare facilities in Songpa-gu under the supervision of the Songpa-gu Welfare Policy Division.

President Moon Young-pyo stated, “As a public wholesale market, Garak Market will take the lead in spreading a culture of sharing by contributing to various welfare support efforts for neighbors in need within the local community, returning the care and love received from customers.”

Hong Seong-ho, Chairman of Hope Sharing Market, said, “With the significant rise in Chuseok prices, the number of vulnerable groups in welfare blind spots is increasing. Garak Market distributors will communicate with many people in the local community, maintain continuous interest in vulnerable groups, and do their best to coexist and prosper together with the community.”
