Park Seonnyeo, president of the Seongbuk District Council of the Korean Red Cross Volunteer Society, who organized the event, said, “We gathered a small amount of sincerity for neighbors who are having a harder time during the cold winter. Thinking about them enjoying it deliciously with rice made the preparation joyful and fulfilling. I hope today's sharing volunteer work will be of some help to our neighbors.”

Lee Seung-ro, mayor of Seongbuk-gu, said, “As winter approaches, kimchi sharing volunteer activities wishing for a warm winter for neighbors in need continue throughout the region. Even in difficult and challenging times, it is because of you who practice sharing and love so that local neighbors are not left out that we can realize a happier Seongbuk together.”

He added, “In the future, together with the Korean Red Cross Volunteer Society, who devotedly work for sharing and volunteering for neighbors, we will create a better neighborhood and a warm Seongbuk full of happy smiles even in the cold winter.”
