The target household had not been cleaned or organized for a long time, living in an unsanitary residential environment due to foul odors and long-term neglected garbage inside and outside the residence, making cleaning urgent.

About 30 members of the Gwangyang company ‘Sarangnagi’ volunteer group mobilized two waste disposal vehicles over two days to remove discarded electronics and various trash, thoroughly cleaning and organizing every corner inside and outside the house, striving to create a hygienic and pleasant living environment.

Gwangyang Company (CEO Hwang Jae-woo), a partner company of Gwangyang Steelworks, is a representative local company of Gwangyang, leading the practice of corporate citizenship spirit.

In particular, the Gwangyang Company Sarangnagi volunteer group (leader Park Won) has been continuously conducting side dish and daily necessities sharing events for vulnerable groups and elderly living alone in the region since 2011, and love briquette sharing and kimchi sharing events since 2006, practicing neighborly love in the community.

Park Won, leader of the Gwangyang Company Sarangnagi volunteer group, said, “Seeing the house neatly organized makes me proud and fulfilled,” and added, “We will continue steady volunteer activities with the hope that interest and support for vulnerable groups around us will increase and volunteering will be activated.”

Park Sang-hoon, head of Goryak-dong, said, “We thank the Gwangyang Company ‘Sarangnagi’ volunteer group for coming to help despite the hot weather to improve the residential environment of vulnerable groups,” and added, “We will continue to actively discover neighbors in need and strive to connect and support customized welfare services.”
