Choi Ho-gwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo District, participated in the '2023 Yeongdeungpo District Kimchi-Making Day' event held simultaneously at Yeongdeungpo Park and the community garden on public land in Mullae-dong on the 15th, volunteering in kimchi-making.

This event was hosted by Yeongdeungpo District and organized by five groups: Yeongdeungpo District Saemaeul Women's Association, Yeongdeungpo District Council of the Korean Red Cross Volunteer Society, Yeongdeungpo District Council of the Movement for Right Living, Yeongdeungpo District Social Welfare Council, and Yeongdeungpo District Volunteer Center.

With the participation of about 280 members from the five organizations, 18,000 kg of kimchi (10 kg per household, 1,800 boxes) was carefully prepared and packaged. A total of 1,376 boxes were donated to 18 neighborhood community service centers and delivered to neighbors in need, while the remaining kimchi was donated to social welfare facilities within the region.

Choi Ho-gwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo District, said, “I sincerely thank the companies and volunteers who actively participated in the kimchi-sharing event to promote a culture of sharing and practice love for neighbors in the community.” He added, “We will do our best to deliver warm hands to those in need during the cold winter and create a Yeongdeungpo where no one is left out.”
