Jungnang-gu (District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) continues to receive warm gestures of kindness toward neighbors ahead of the major traditional holiday, Chuseok.

First, on the 20th, Jeongho Enterprise (CEO Park Yong-tae) donated 1,000 bags of 10kg white rice, and the Hope Sharing People Association (Chairman Kim Jeong-an) delivered daily necessities worth 100 million won twice, on the 6th and 22nd. On the 26th, Rambo CM Development (CEO Lee Geum-seok) donated 133 boxes of ramen to be distributed to local senior centers.

Warm hearts from individual donors were also conveyed. Local resident Kim Dae-jin (49) sent 70 gift sets containing easy-to-eat foods such as tuna and ham, and an anonymous resident sent 50 boxes of ramen to be delivered to neighbors in need.

The district office plans to entrust the donated goods to the Seoul Social Welfare Community Chest, which will distribute them to social welfare facilities, senior centers, and low-income households in the area.

Moreover, sharing for vulnerable groups such as elderly living alone continued in Myeonmok-bon-dong and Myeonmok 7-dong. On the 20th, the Myeonmok-bon-dong Happy Sharing Council visited homes of elderly living alone and goshiwon (small dormitory rooms) to deliver Chuseok gifts such as songpyeon, sikhye, and foot baths to 330 households while checking on their well-being. On the 26th, gift packages containing basic ingredients and side dishes were also delivered to low-income vulnerable groups.

The Myeonmok 7-dong Happy Sharing Council held a ‘Chuseok Happiness Quick Service’ event on the 26th, delivering fruit and food gift sets to 50 low-income disabled and elderly living alone households. Along with gift delivery, they carefully checked on neighbors to ensure they have a warm holiday.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “I am grateful for the hearts sent to neighbors everywhere so that no one is left out and everyone can have a happy holiday. We will do our best to gather the warm hearts of 400,000 residents of Jungnang-gu full of compassion and continue to make Jungnang a better place to live.”
