Gyeongbuk Province announced that on July 18, Good Neighbors donated 10,475 pieces of clothing worth approximately 1.4 billion KRW to vulnerable elderly residents in the province.

This donation was part of the "2025 Good Wind Campaign" organized by the Korea National Council on Social Welfare's Senior Welfare Center, which operates under the Ministry of Health and Welfare. As a private sponsor, Good Neighbors expressed its intention to support elderly residents in Gyeongbuk who are struggling to purchase clothing due to financial hardship and social isolation, making this donation possible.

Good Neighbors loaded boxes filled with 10,000 pieces of clothing onto a truck to deliver to low-income elderly residents in the Gyeongbuk area.

Good Neighbors is a social welfare organization that supports neighbors in need due to poverty or disasters, works to protect children's rights, and carries out various humanitarian projects in 47 countries both domestically and internationally.

Meanwhile, Gyeongbuk Province is providing customized care services for vulnerable elderly residents. These services are offered to more than 56,000 seniors and include safety and well-being checks, daily living support, social participation, and sponsorship linkage, all tailored to individual circumstances and needs.

A representative from Good Neighbors stated, "We hope this clothing donation will provide warmth and comfort to the elderly, and especially offer some assistance to those in Gyeongbuk who have been affected by large-scale wildfires."

Kim Hoseop, Director of Welfare and Health at Gyeongbuk Province, said, "We will continue to expand public-private partnerships and sponsorship linkages to improve the quality of life for vulnerable elderly residents in the province."
