Establishment of Summer Heat Shelter at Dongwon Church in Guui 1-dong... Religious Facilities Join for Safe Summer of Residents
Free Beverages and Snacks Provided... Open Weekdays from 10 AM to 5 PM Until August 23

Dongwon Church (Pastor Lee Ki-young), located in Guui 1-dong, Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho), has established a heatwave shelter within the church to help local residents exhausted by the ongoing heatwave.

The district operates a total of 92 heatwave shelters this year to prevent heat-related illnesses caused by the heat. In particular, Dongwon Church is voluntarily participating in helping Gwangjin residents have a healthy summer by opening the first floor of the church's second education building as a heatwave shelter, continuing from last year.

The heatwave shelter operates on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding weekends, until August 23. Dongwon Church plans to provide visitors to the shelter with free refreshments such as cold coffee and beverages.

A representative of Dongwon Church said, "We hope many residents, including the elderly, visit the heatwave shelter to escape the intense heat and take a rest," encouraging local residents to use the facility.

In response, Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, "We thank Dongwon Church for operating the heatwave shelter every year for the neighbors," and added, "Gwangjin-gu will continue to actively communicate with religious facilities in the area and do its best to ensure that all residents can safely get through the summer."
