Gwanak-gu (District Mayor Park Jun-hee) has designated the period from the 2nd to the 8th as an intensive volunteer week in celebration of the traditional Korean holiday, Seollal, and all employees have participated in volunteer activities.

The Seollal volunteer activities by public officials carried out throughout Gwanak-gu are a long-standing tradition unique to Gwanak-gu, aimed at sharing warmth with marginalized and struggling neighbors ahead of the holiday.

This year as well, in cooperation with 21 community service centers within the district, employees from various departments of the district office visit senior centers and households in need of care to conduct environmental cleanup, provide companionship, listen to their opinions, and engage in various activities.

In particular, on the 6th, District Mayor Park Jun-hee personally participated in the "Seollal Gift Packaging" volunteer activity for sharing love, which included making rice cake soup, beef bone soup, masks, and more, at the Gwanak-gu Volunteer Center.

The donated items prepared on the 6th will be distributed to 300 disadvantaged households in cooperation with the 21 community service centers within the district through the Gwanak-gu Volunteer Center.

District Mayor Park Jun-hee expressed his gratitude to the volunteers who participated, saying, "It is especially meaningful to gather with one heart and one mind to package holiday food." He added, "I hope everyone can have a happy holiday by looking once more at neighbors in need around us and sharing with them."
