Operating 'Yeongdeungpo-gu Civil Servants Volunteer Group'

Yeongdeungpo-gu, Suwon (District Chief Choi Jong-won) announced on the 9th that it will operate the 'Yeongdeungpo-gu Civil Servants Volunteer Group,' through which civil servants voluntarily participate in volunteer activities and personally experience sharing love and care for their neighbors.

The district has been promoting the 'Small Change Sharing' movement since last year, in which over 300 civil servants of Yeongdeungpo-gu pool their small contributions. Last December, approximately 40 employees supported recovery efforts in heavy snow damage areas in Jusan-myeon, Buan-gun, Jeollabuk-do, and in February, around 50 employees joined the 'Happy Suwon Volunteer Group.'

The 'Yeongdeungpo-gu Civil Servants Volunteer Group' will designate the third Saturday of each month starting this month for regular volunteer activities held at least once monthly, coordinated with the Suwon Volunteer Organizations Council.

The volunteer group will first visit 4 households on the 18th, including elderly people living alone in Yeongdeungpo 2-dong, and participate in the 'Fixing Homes with Love' project, which includes wallpaper work, flooring replacement, moving household furniture, and house cleaning.

Additionally, the group plans to continue volunteer activities at social welfare facilities (for the elderly, people with disabilities, children, homeless shelters, etc.), disaster recovery sites (disaster-affected areas), and community service activities (assisting with farm work, environmental conservation activities, etc.).

The volunteer group also plans to utilize its professional expertise to provide health home visits for elderly people with mobility difficulties and information technology education for underprivileged groups.
