[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Mayor Baek Kun-ki of Yongin City attended the launch ceremony of the '2021 Yongin City Family Volunteer Group' and encouraged volunteers while calling for their active participation.

The Yongin City Family Volunteer Group has been operated by the Yongin Volunteer Center (Chairman Baek Kun-ki) since 2013 to promote family-unit volunteer work with the aim of spreading a culture of sharing and fostering a healthy family culture.

This year's family volunteer group includes a total of 146 people from 40 households in the city. Beginning with the launch ceremony, the group will conduct various volunteer activities over eight months through November, including environmental cleanup, sharing holiday meals of love, producing Korean language-related card news, and collecting pedestrian information for mobility-challenged citizens.

The launch ceremony was held on the 24th at the City Hall Convention Hall, with attendance by Mayor Baek, center officials, and family volunteers.

Mayor Baek, who serves as chairman of the center, said at the event, "I thank all the volunteers who participated in the family volunteer group for making Yongin City a better place to live," and added, "The family volunteer group has shown interest in community issues and underprivileged populations and has conducted diverse activities. We ask for your active participation this year as well."
