Mayor Kim Sang-don of Uiwang City Presents Plaques to New 'Baekun Lake Good Shops'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jeong Jun-sung] Mayor Kim Sang-don of Uiwang City visited newly participating 'Baekun Lake Good Shop' businesses on the 8th alongside the Uiwang City East Community Welfare Council (represented by Chairman Lee Jong-deuk) and Gyeonggi Love of Harvest (headed by Chairman Lee Soon-seon), presenting plaques for the 'Baekun Lake Good Shop' initiative.

The 'Baekun Lake Good Shop' refers to businesses that donate a portion of their sales to help disadvantaged neighbors. The campaign was launched to create the area around Baekun Lake into a 'Baekun Lake Good Street' by pooling these efforts of sharing and goodwill.

The 10 newly participating 'Baekun Lake Good Shop' businesses are: Seonil Cattle Ranch, Nature and Urban, Canaan Deok, Yeongsan River Freshwater Eel, Jeolla-do Red Bean Clam Kalguksu, GS25 Uiwang Cheonggyesa Branch, Toy Village, Geumgang Flower Farm, Wild Flower, and Gudeul Jang.

Meanwhile, Uiwang City and Gyeonggi Love of Harvest are planning to activate a sharing culture through recruitment of Baekun Lake Good Shops, expand new business participation, and establish the area around Baekun Lake as a 'Baekun Lake Good Street' where good shops gather.

Mayor Kim Sang-don stated, "Despite difficult economic circumstances due to COVID-19, I am grateful for the warm hearts of these business owners toward their neighbors in need," and added, "I will make greater efforts to spread a culture of sharing so that Uiwang City can become a happy place where we stand together with those in our community."
