Gwonseon-gu Seodun-dong Practices Love for Neighbors on Chuseok

The Seodun-dong Community Service Center in Gwonseon-gu (Director Min Wan-sik), under the auspices of the dong organizations council, has launched a fundraising campaign from the 3rd through the 13th to practice a culture of sharing with neighbors in need ahead of Chuseok, Korea's greatest traditional holiday.

Due to Seodun-dong's characteristics as a relatively underdeveloped area in the west Suwon region, many vulnerable residents such as basic livelihood recipients and elderly living alone reside there. Accordingly, the community plans to maximize fundraising amounts to provide support to those in welfare blind spots.

The funds collected through this fundraising campaign will be distributed by dong organization leaders and members on the 13th to eligible households in the form of goods valued at 30,000 to 50,000 won.
