Jang-an District Jowon Market Merchants Association Donates Rice for Those in Need

The Jowon Market Merchants Association (Chairman Kim Byeong-gon) donated 120kg of rice (worth approximately 300,000 won) to the "Rice Jar of Love" operated in Jowon 1-dong, Jang-an District on the 7th to help those in difficult circumstances secure meals.

The Jowon Market Merchants Association previously donated 400kg of rice during Chuseok last year for those in need, and continues to practice neighborly love through operational profits from the merchants association.

Chairman Kim Byeong-gon stated, "Ensuring that elderly people living alone who suddenly run out of rice can eat their meals without worry is our responsibility and duty as a community living together." He added, "I believe we are able to live comfortably as we do now because there are elders who have contributed to the development of our society throughout their lives, and I will make greater efforts to ensure they do not face any inconvenience."
