[Suwon Ilbo=Dong-young Seo] Samsung Electro-Mechanics employees visited the Suwon Comprehensive Volunteer Center on the 14th and donated 1,180 bags of 'Rice of Love' (10kg per bag) to Suwon City.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics employees raised 45 million won and purchased the rice from 'Togomi Village' in Hwacheon, Gangwon Province. Since 2002, Samsung Electro-Mechanics has maintained a sister relationship with Togomi Village to promote mutual prosperity between urban and rural areas, and has been purchasing rice, a local specialty of the village, each year to deliver to underprivileged neighbors.

The city plans to distribute the rice to low-income households in 44 dongs, social welfare facilities within the city, free meal service groups, homeless shelter facilities, and other organizations.

Chan-ho Kwon, Head of the Welfare and Women's Division of Suwon City, Suk-ja Im, Director of the Suwon Volunteer Center, Gwang-seon Hwang, Communication Group Head at Samsung Electro-Mechanics, and other officials attended the donation ceremony.

Group Head Hwang stated, "Samsung Electro-Mechanics employees prepared the Rice of Love with donations collected by saving a portion of their monthly salaries," and added, "We will continue to carry out social contribution projects to build a local community where everyone prospers together."
