Songsan-myeon Delivers "Rice of Love" to Byeongjeom 1-dong

The Songsan-myeon Community Autonomous Center (headed by Myeon Manager Yeo In-gil) delivered 20 bags of rice (20kg) and 50 boxes of grape juice to the Byeongjeom 1-dong Community Autonomous Center, its sister town, on the 15th, for use by those in need and residents of Byeongjeom 1-dong.

The rice delivered that day was a harvest directly grown by Songsan-myeon staff and residents throughout the year to help those in need, and the grape juice was also donated by Nam Gi-chul, chairman of the Songsan-myeon Community Autonomous Committee.

Myeon Manager Yeo In-gil said, "There are truly many people in our community who need a helping hand," and called for them to "take the lead in creating a welfare Hwaseong City that stands together with those in difficulty through mutual cooperation." In response, Dong Administrator Yun Sang-bae said, "We will use the precious rice and grape juice you sent meaningfully to help elderly people living alone and youth-headed households in our district."

Meanwhile, Songsan-myeon and Byeongjeom 1-dong have maintained their urban-rural exchange activities including direct farm product marketplaces, rural labor assistance, and aid to the underprivileged since forming their sister relationship in 2009.
