This initiative aims to ensure vulnerable groups in the area can enjoy a warm and vibrant Lunar New Year celebration.

The Lunar New Year sharing program is the result of voluntary participation from local organizations, institutions, and businesses. Donated items include essential groceries and daily necessities that provide tangible assistance to those in need.

Notable donations include 50 blankets from the ‘K-water Jin-do Waterworks Office,’ 318 boxes of fresh pork sets from the Jin-do branch of the Korean Pork Association, and 55 bags of rice (10-20 kg) from the Korea Electric Power Corporation’s community support project.
