Gwangju Volunteer Center Launches '2025 First Love Jjajangmyeon Project'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] The Gwangju Volunteer Center (Director Bang Se-hwan, Mayor of Gwangju) successfully carried out the '2025 First Love Jjajangmyeon Project' on the 16th at the volunteer center's kitchen.

With Director Bang Se-hwan and approximately 40 volunteers participating in the jjajangmyeon volunteer work, members of the Greenicreeny Jjajangmyeon Volunteer Group (Chairman Seok Sang-bae) distributed jjajangmyeon carefully prepared by volunteers starting from early morning at 6 a.m. to citizens using 4 senior centers and 5 shared refrigerators throughout the city.

In particular, members of the Gwangju City Mobile Patrol Youth Hazardous Environment Monitoring Unit delivered warm and delicious jjajangmyeon promptly to 14 social welfare facilities in the city.

The jjajangmyeon volunteer activities of the Greenicreeny Jjajangmyeon Volunteer Group have been carrying out various sharing activities together with Dodamina Farm, which has steadily extended its support in invisible places for 29 years.

Chairman Seok Sang-bae said, "The jjajangmyeon volunteer activities could be sustained for such a long period because members have carried out their roles faithfully with a sense of responsibility and volunteer spirit," and added, "As the newly appointed chairman for 2025, I will make efforts so that members can participate in a more pleasant and safe manner."

Director Bang Se-hwan said, "Thanks to the endless dedication of volunteers, Gwangju City is developing into an increasingly warm and livable city," and stated, "Since each person's small actions create big changes, I look forward to you continuing to be the driving force of progress and change."
