Kimchi Made with Love: 'Hands-On Warmth'

The invisible good deeds of the Pyeongtaek City Living Improvement Association are drawing attention.

Over two days, August 8-9, members from 11 chapters—approximately 150 people—gathered for the "8th Annual Kimchi Made with Love" event.

They prepared 150 boxes of altari radish kimchi, 10kg each, and delivered them to youth-headed households and elderly people living alone in the region.

The association began in 1988 with 38 members and currently has approximately 700 members across 11 chapters.

Every year, the association uses profits from domestic agricultural products earned at the "Pyeongtaek Flower Spring Outing Event" to donate 1 million won—500,000 won each—to two elderly households living alone in the region.

Additionally, living improvement association members from each township and district gather on the third Friday of every month at the South Welfare Hall to provide meals and side dishes to elderly people living alone.
