This sharing event was sponsored by the Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters of the Movement to Protect Our Agriculture, with about 20 members from the Hometown Housewives Association and Farm Housewives Association participating together with Cho Geun-su, Head of Gyeongnam Nonghyup Headquarters, Kim Gap-moon, Branch Manager of Nonghyup Changwon City, and Kim Jin-seok, Chairman of Seochangwon Nonghyup. They served warm rice cake soup to neighbors in need who are easily neglected during the cold winter, creating an occasion to share neighborly love and affection.

The free meal service at Naeseo Comprehensive Social Welfare Center serves about 200 people, including basic livelihood security recipients aged 65 or older and those in the lower-income bracket. During this Seollal rice cake soup sharing event, 2 kg of rice cake soup rice cakes were also given to the visiting elders as a wish for them to have a joyful holiday along with the meal.

Head Cho said, “As we celebrate Seollal, a traditional holiday of our nation, I find it meaningful to share a small but warm bowl of rice cake soup with neighbors in need,” adding, “Going forward, Gyeongnam Nonghyup will take the lead in spreading a culture of companionship with the local community through various sharing activities.”

Chairman Kim said, “Although it is a small sharing, we will repay the love we have received from local residents and strive to further spread warmth in our community.”
