The collected cash and goods were delivered in various ways depending on the situation in the affected areas. The main donations were provided to support recovery and stabilize the livelihoods of residents in the most severely affected regions, such as North Gyeongsang, South Gyeongsang, and Ulsan, and were delivered to organizations including the North Gyeongsang Community Chest of Korea, the South Gyeongsang Red Cross, and the Ulsan Community Chest of Korea.

Some of the cash and goods will be used for daily recovery and restoration projects for affected residents through other local governments and relief organizations.

"The association will continue to stand with neighbors in need, practice sharing, and fulfill its social responsibility," she added.
