Kimchi Sharing for Kimjang Begins Across Seongbuk-gu

Donam 2-dong Community Security Council Supports 50 Boxes of Kimchi for Low-Income Elderly Living Alone... Jeongneung 2-dong Volunteer Camp Activists Deliver Kkakdugi to 10 Households... Anam-dong Provides Winter Kimchi Support to 200 Low-Income Households

In various locations across Seongbuk-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Seung-ro), kimchi sharing events are ongoing to prepare for the late autumn winter season.

On the 2nd, in Donam 2-dong, about ten members of the Bandi volunteer group along with the Donam 2-dong Community Security Council (hereafter referred to as the Council) gathered at the community center to make kimchi to help low-income elderly living alone have a warm winter. The finished kimchi was packed into 50 boxes and delivered to neighbors.

From early morning that day, Council members and volunteers drained water from 20 boxes of salted napa cabbage and mixed the seasoning to make the kimchi themselves. Despite his busy schedule, Mayor Lee Seung-ro specially took time to participate in the kimchi-making event and lent a hand.

On the same day, a radish kimchi (kkakdugi) sharing event was held in Jeongneung 2-dong. Volunteers from the Jeongneung 2-dong Volunteer Camp gathered on the 3rd floor of the community center to make kkakdugi. The event was especially meaningful as it took place amid rising prices of red pepper powder and salt. The finished kkakdugi was delivered to 10 vulnerable households.

On the 7th, a winter kimchi sharing event was held in Anam-dong as well. Centered around the Anam-dong Community Security Council, Seongbuk-gu Family Center, Lifeline Comprehensive Social Welfare Center, and Seongbuk Disabled Welfare Center joined forces.

On this day, they checked on the well-being of vulnerable neighbors during the sudden cold wave while sharing kimchi. Kimchi carefully prepared was delivered to a total of 200 households including elderly living alone, people with disabilities, and isolated young people.

Mayor Lee Seung-ro of Seongbuk-gu said, “I thank our residents who continue to hold kimchi-making events every year to prepare for winter. I hope that sharing kimchi will be a source of strength for neighbors in need, and that Seongbuk will be filled with neighborly love and warmth.”
