Gwangju Seo-gu Nongsong 2-dong Welfare Council Joins Beautiful Sharing 'Good Store' Initiative

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] The Community Security Council of Nongsung 2-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Private Chairman Do Deok-young) visited three ‘Good Stores’ in the district on the 30th of last month to present the Our Neighborhood Guardian Angel Good Store plaques and express their gratitude.

According to Nongsung 2-dong, Seo-gu on the 2nd, a ‘Good Store’ is a store that coexists with the local community by donating a fixed amount of at least 30,000 KRW monthly, targeting small business owners and self-employed individuals.

Also, after making regular donations three or more times and being selected as a ‘Good Store,’ the Gwangju Community Chest of Korea presents a plaque and it is a sharing culture campaign that allows donors to receive tax benefits under the Income Tax Act as a statutory donation.

The Good Stores that held the plaque presentation ceremony this time are ▲Daemyung Advertising Co., Ltd. (Cha Hyung-mok) ▲Bitna Beauty Salon (No Jeom-nam) ▲Jeonggyeoun Home Care Senior Welfare Center (Kim Hyun-soon), totaling three places.

Stores such as ▲Jigeuljigeulbul (Jo Haeng-cheon) ▲Hwajeong Meat Restaurant (Kim An-su) ▲Jami Grilled Fish (Kim Ae-ja) ▲Wando Sea (Kim Jun-ho) ▲Haedream Rehabilitation Daycare Center (Kim Min-a) ▲Sigol Farm (Jung Da-woon) also participate in regular donations, adding warmth to the local community during difficult times.

The total number of Good Stores in Nongsung 2-dong has reached 38, and this achievement is the result of the Crisis Household Discovery Team’s active efforts to spread the culture of sharing despite the heat.

Do Deok-young, chairman of the Security Council, said, “Thank you for joining the Good Store to help neighbors in need despite the difficult conditions caused by COVID-19,” and added, “We will continue to strive to discover Good Stores and practice neighborly love to spread the culture of sharing.”

Heo Soon-seok, head of Nongsung 2-dong, said, “We express our gratitude to everyone who continues to support us despite the difficult and stagnant economy,” and added, “Donations collected through individual sponsorships and Good Stores will be properly delivered to those in need and used meaningfully.”
