Gwangju Bank Donates 30,000 Masks to Suncheon City

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Bank (President Song Jong-wook) announced on the 2nd that on the 1st, it delivered 30,000 masks at Suncheon City Hall, attended by Song Jong-wook, President of Gwangju Bank, and Heo Seok, Mayor of Suncheon, among other officials.

Amid the continued spread of COVID-19 in the eastern Jeonnam region, including Suncheon and Gwangyang cities, Suncheon has raised social distancing to level 2 and is actively implementing quarantine measures. Since last month, a mask donation campaign has been underway, leading to a continuous flow of mask donations.

Gwangju Bank participated in Suncheon’s mask donation campaign by delivering 30,000 masks to Suncheon City Hall. The delivered masks will be provided to Suncheon citizens who face financial burdens due to mandatory mask-wearing, and will be placed at major tourist sites, public places, and public transportation facilities in Suncheon to help prevent the spread of infection within the region.

Song Jong-wook, President of Gwangju Bank, said, “As the local economy is stagnating due to COVID-19 and the sighs of local residents deepen day by day, I hope the masks delivered by Gwangju Bank will contribute to protecting the health and safety of Suncheon citizens and help overcome the COVID-19 crisis.” He added, “As the representative bank of Jeonnam and Gwangju, we will continue to pursue values beyond profit, such as mutual growth with the region, and take the lead in various social contribution activities to accompany local residents.”
