Catholic University Donates 3,000 Briquettes to Elderly Living Alone

Catholic University announced on the 13th that it successfully held the "16th Catholic University Love Briquette Sharing" volunteer activity, delivering 3,000 briquettes to energy-vulnerable households in the Hakik-dong area of Michuhol-gu, Incheon.

Over 80 students and staff members from Catholic University participated in the 16th "Catholic University Love Briquette Sharing" volunteer activity on Saturday, the 8th, delivering 3,000 briquettes purchased through on-campus fundraising directly in Hakik-dong, Michuhol-gu, Incheon.

This volunteer activity was carried out on the 8th by purchasing briquettes with funds raised on campus, and about 80 students, faculty, staff, and alumni personally delivered them.

Despite the severe cold with temperatures dropping below minus 10 degrees Celsius that day, the Catholic University volunteer group, in cooperation with the Incheon Briquette Bank, brought warm comfort to elderly living alone and households receiving basic livelihood security benefits.

Jung Jae-min, a sociology student who participated in the volunteer work, expressed his feelings, saying, "Even in the cold weather, the love from the school contained in each briquette will be a great comfort to our neighbors."

Since the launch of the "Caritas Volunteer Group" in 2015, Catholic University has continuously engaged in various social contribution activities such as delivering meals to elderly living alone, supporting youth education, community beautification, and clothing donations. This briquette sharing volunteer activity is one of them and is regarded as an opportunity to practice sincere interest and love for the local community.

Local residents and officials highly evaluated the school's social contribution efforts, saying, "We hope such volunteer activities continue during the long cold season."
