[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Paldal-gu District, Suwon City (District Chief Lee Sang-gyun) launched the 'Suwon Jeong Dami Love Rice Campaign' on the 22nd at the district office lobby with about 10 participants including the district chief and various organization leaders, offering warm sharing to those in need.

The campaign saw participation from various departments, neighborhood associations, Gyeonggi Teachers' Association, Paldal Temple, Paldal Saemaul Geumgo (Community Savings Bank), and Small Business Federation, all initiated with the goal of supporting local Suwon farms. Through their contributions, 1,204 bags of Suwon Jeong Dami rice totaling 12,606kg have been collected and will be distributed to basic livelihood recipients and low-income families in need.

Notably, the district conducted a voluntary donation campaign from December 2 of last year through the 24th of this month, which was evaluated as an opportunity to realize genuine values of sharing beyond symbiotic cooperation within the local community.

Meanwhile, the donated rice will be used at the newly opened in-house cafeteria of Paldal-gu District Office (Palcheop Bansang) as coordinated with the Agricultural Technology Center to contribute to rice consumption promotion.

District Chief Lee Sang-gyun stated, "I sincerely thank all those who cooperated in donating rice with sincere hearts," and added, "We will ensure that the rice prepared for warm winter sharing and love becomes warmth for those neighbors facing difficulties."
