The Community Security Council and the Residents' Autonomy Committee of Jukhang-dong, Namwon City, warmed the cold winter with communal care through the 'Warm Kimchi Sharing for Neighbors.'

The Jukhang-dong Community Security Council announced that from the 21st to the 23rd, they delivered 200 heads of napa cabbage over three days as kimchi made with love to 100 households in need of sharing and care, including elderly living alone, and to 8 senior centers.

This project was funded by donations from local residents participating in the Jukhang-dong Welfare Hub Joint Fundraising Project (a project under an agreement between the council and the Jeonbuk Community Chest of Korea) and is a specialized project of the council called 'Connecting Each Other / Hope Dream / Mutual Care.'

This kimchi sharing initiative is not only led by the council but also by the Jukhang-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee and the administration, who have stepped forward with the values of autonomy, sharing, cooperation, and solidarity. It is a grassroots local welfare project based on public-private partnership that plans, produces, and delivers public services for communal care within the community, making it a meaningful public-private cooperation project.

A resident who received the kimchi expressed gratitude, saying, "Receiving the delicious kimchi made with sincerity in the cold winter makes me feel warm kindness."

A council official (Chairman Jeong Tae-sik) said, "In these difficult times, we hope that through kimchi sharing, our neighbors who have been isolated can connect with each other, exchange warm feelings, and gain strength. Since this is carried out together with local residents who support social missions such as cooperation, solidarity, sharing, and care, we will do our best to create a community and welfare village in Jukhang-dong where people live harmoniously according to the wishes of the sponsors."

A representative of the Residents' Autonomy Committee (Chairman Kim Jin-taek) stated, "I wanted to be of some help in creating a community where local residents with shared intentions come together and share warmth. We want to continue expanding sharing and care with our neighbors in the future."
