On September 15, Yongin City announced that six local confectioneries and bakeries have newly joined the ‘Happiness Sharing Store Sponsorship Agreement.’


This agreement was established to build a public-private partnership sponsorship system that continuously supports children in need by utilizing the human and material resources of local shops.


The newly participating stores are Baksuhong Bakery, Awesome Bakery, Boulangerie, Gateau Madeleine, Sikbbang Unni, and Kkuum Bakery, totaling six. Including the existing Dalkomigoom Confectionery, Ureong Gaksi, and Mohyeon Fruit, there are now a total of nine Happiness Sharing Stores.


The participating stores regularly donate breads, pastries, cakes, fruits, and similar items that are either produced or sold at their shops. The donated goods are delivered to children in foster care, children in need of protection due to abuse, and children residing in child welfare facilities.


Yongin City expects that this agreement will help promote healthy diets among vulnerable children, as well as foster their emotional stability and strengthen the sense of local community.



A Yongin City official stated, “We are grateful to local small business owners who have extended a helping hand to children despite tough economic conditions,” adding, “We will actively support small business owners’ social contribution activities to build a ‘Yongin-style Child Protection Safety Net’ where not a single child feels neglected.”
