On the 5th, Gangseo-gu, Seoul held a 'Love Package Sharing Event' for low-income residents. The event, held at Gangseo Food Bank and Market Deungchon Branch, was attended by about 20 people, including Jin Gyo-hoon, the head of Gangseo-gu, Jung Yoo-jin, CEO of the nonprofit organization Together with Love, and volunteers.

The packages, sponsored by Together with Love, were worth approximately 30 million KRW and filled with food items such as instant rice, ramen, sesame oil, and red pepper paste, as well as daily necessities. The love packages, packed by the attendees themselves, will be delivered to vulnerable groups in the community, including basic livelihood security recipients and people with disabilities.

Jin Gyo-hoon, the head of the district office, said, "The love packages carry the meaning of companionship, going beyond comfort and encouragement to neighbors who have to spend lonely holidays due to difficult circumstances," and added, "We will ensure they are delivered well to residents in need."

Together with Love has been consistently conducting sharing events targeting vulnerable neighbors such as basic livelihood security recipients and people with disabilities in the area since 2020. The total value of donated items has reached 340 million KRW. In June, the organization was inducted into the Gangseo-gu Hall of Fame for Outstanding Donors.
