2,156 Households Share Love for Neighbors with 70 Million Won in Donations

Youngtong District actively carried out a "Love for Neighbors Sharing Campaign" from the 9th to the 20th to coincide with the Lunar New Year holiday, achieving significant results in helping underprivileged neighbors.

A diverse group of 344 people, including Youngtong District public officials, residents, public institutions, civic organizations, religious groups, businesses, and self-employed individuals, actively participated in the Love for Neighbors Sharing Campaign, leading efforts to create a warm Lunar New Year atmosphere.

They delivered care packages worth 70 million won to 11 social welfare facilities in Youngtong District and 2,145 low-income households, including basic livelihood security recipients.

About 60 members of the Youngtong Senior Welfare Volunteer Corps (Chairman Tak Du-hoon) gathered at the Maetan 4-dong Sandraemi Senior Center for several days, cutting rice cakes for rice cake soup and hand-making dumplings. They delivered 3 kg each to 165 elderly living alone and 30 kg each to three welfare facilities, totaling 590 kg (200 boxes), putting love for neighbors into practice.

Youngtong Development Coalition (Chairman Kim Hak-seop) distributed gift certificates worth 200,000 won to eight low-income households. Additionally, 76 senior-level civil servants from the district and dong offices visited paired families including elderly living alone, people with disabilities, and single-parent households, providing care packages to help them have a warm Lunar New Year.

The Suwon City Lifelong Sports Association (Chairman Sung Yeol-hak) delivered 100 bags of 10 kg white rice to low-income households. At each dong community center, resident autonomy committees and various organizations and institutions continued to extend warm support.

Youngtong District implemented the "365 Love for Neighbors Sharing Campaign" last year to address welfare blind spots and realize meticulous welfare. As a result, they delivered 343.5 million won in sponsorships to 6,464 households, taking the lead in realizing the "Human City Welfare Youngtong" in both name and reality.
