Chilgok County Continues Lunar New Year "Hope Kit" Program for 15th Year

Putting Neighborly Love into Practice

On February 9, Chilgok County in North Gyeongsang Province put neighborly love into practice by delivering the "Lunar New Year Hope Kit" to 100 households in the county, including case management beneficiaries and low-income vulnerable families, ahead of Lunar New Year, one of the nation’s biggest holidays.

The Hope Kits delivered this time contained 20 types of food items such as fruit, meat, and meal kits, worth a total of 200,000 won each. They were prepared through the warm support of 17 sponsors, including Korea Electric Power Corporation Chilgok Branch, Waegwan Middle School 9th Alumni Fence Association, Jin ENG, Chilgok Equestrian Center, Farmsco Co., Ltd., Sesin Materials, Baekseol Trading Company, Hyoseong Motor, Woosung Pack, Uni World, Goryeo Printing Planning, Haengbok Nanum Bongtree, J Mart, as well as individual donors Kwon Ohbong, Lee Jaedal, Kim Changseop, and Choi Younghee.

An official from Chilgok County said, "We are truly grateful to our donors who continue to share their warmth every holiday despite the difficult economic situation," adding, "We will continue to build a close-knit public-private cooperation network and do our utmost to support vulnerable groups in blind spots of the welfare system."

Meanwhile, Chilgok County’s "Hope Kit" program, which began in 2012, marks its 15th year this year. It is one of Chilgok County’s flagship sharing initiatives, in which the public and private sectors work together every Lunar New Year and Chuseok holiday to donate goods so that marginalized neighbors in the community can spend the holidays without feeling lonely.
