Yeongtong-gu Three Friends in Yeongtong 2-dong Make Regular Donations to Help Vulnerable Neighbors for Three Years

Three friends who came together to help struggling neighbors have become a heartwarming story, making regular donations to vulnerable households for three years.

The protagonists of this heartwarming tale are friends living in close proximity to Yeongtong 2-dong who visited the community center three years ago and expressed their desire to help those in need. Through coordination with the Korea Community Chest of Korea, they have been consistently supporting single-parent families through designated cash donations.

The three individuals, who chose to remain anonymous, visited the community center on the 31st of last month to inquire about additional ways to help struggling neighbors, seeking to expand their assistance efforts.

A social welfare official at the dong said, "As temperatures have dropped and winter approaches, we receive more than five calls a day from concerned residents, but we are concerned because there are not many resources or services available to provide help. In that sense, the good deeds of these three individuals are providing great support,"

Yeongtong 2-dong is mostly comprised of apartment complexes with a relatively low proportion of impoverished residents, but in modern society that is becoming increasingly complex and diverse, neighbors facing difficult circumstances are distributed throughout the area. Those wishing to make continuous designated cash donations or contribute items to help vulnerable populations can contact the social welfare department at Yeongtong 2-dong Community Center (228-8745, 9).
