[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Um In-yong] Guri City held the '2025 Lunar New Year Love and Hope Sharing Event' on the 21st at the Citizen Service Plaza on the first floor of City Hall.

The event was organized by the Korean Red Cross Guri District Council (Chairman Kim Bok-jo) and Robocube Tech Inc. (Representative Kim Young-seok). Attending were Guri Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun, Robocube Tech Inc. Representative Kim Young-seok, Regional Vice Chairman Ham Jeong-hyun, Northeast Service Director Kang Sung-wook, and Korean Red Cross Volunteer Association Guri District Council Chairman Kim Bok-jo, among other officials.

On this day, the Korean Red Cross Volunteer Association Guri District Council purchased 510 bags of rice (10kg each) and 40 boxes of tangerines (5kg each) using the 25 million won designated donation received from Robocube Tech Inc., and plans to distribute them to 500 Hope Windmill partner families and vulnerable households through eight administrative districts.

Meanwhile, the Korean Red Cross Volunteer Association Guri District Council has been practicing hope sharing with underprivileged groups using designated donations received from Robocube Tech Inc. around holidays every year since 2020.

Kim Bok-jo, Chairman of the Korean Red Cross Volunteer Association Guri District Council, said, "I hope the rice and fruit prepared with the donated funds become small happiness for the vulnerable households," and added, "The Red Cross will continue to make efforts so that our difficult neighbors can spend a warm winter ahead."

Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun said, "I express my gratitude to Representative Kim Young-seok of Robocube Tech and the Red Cross volunteer members for consistently practicing volunteer sharing for underprivileged neighbors in the community," and continued, "I hope you will continue to lead the way in caring for the vulnerable and creating a warm community in 2025."
