Uljin-gun Saemaeul Association, 'Joint Kimchi Making of Love' ... Delivered to Underprivileged Groups

The Saemaeul Association of Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk, held the ‘2023 Joint Kimchi Making with Love’ event for vulnerable groups in the region on the 22nd.

Uljin-gun Saemaeul Association delivered kimchi to underprivileged groups through a joint kimchi-making event of love.

Every year, the Uljin-gun Saemaeul Association makes kimchi and delivers it to marginalized groups in the towns and townships within the district, including low-income families, elderly living alone, and child-headed households.

For the spread of a sharing culture, the event completed preparations on November 20th. On the first day of the event, cabbage selection and salting were done; on the second day, cabbage washing and making the seasoning for the cabbage were completed; and on the third day, mixing and packaging were finished. A total of 3,000 heads of kimchi were delivered to about 1,000 marginalized households and welfare facilities in each town and township.

Baek Tae-jin, head of the Uljin-gun Saemaeul branch, who organized the event, said, “This year, we have been carrying out projects such as resource recycling collection, side dish support for vulnerable groups, and creating happy homes. I am grateful to the Saemaeul family and volunteer groups who put aside their busy daily lives to participate in volunteer activities.” He added, “Through the ‘Joint Kimchi Making with Love’ event, I hope that marginalized families in Uljin-gun will have a healthy and happy winter. We plan to continue social volunteer activities such as sharing love and neighborly care.”

Son Byung-bok, the county governor, said, “I sincerely thank Baek Tae-jin, head of the Uljin-gun Saemaeul branch, and all members who dedicate themselves to volunteering for neighbors in need.” He added, “I hope that the marginalized groups will spend this winter warmly through the ‘Joint Kimchi Making with Love’ event and that they will stay strong a little longer, just as they have overcome difficulties so far.”
