Under this agreement, Myeongmun will donate 27 million won through the Community Chest of Korea. The foundation has been carrying out projects such as providing supplies, scholarships, and support for self-reliance among young adults preparing for independence.


The donated funds will be used to support IT learning devices for science and engineering college students and to provide winter essentials to low-income households. First, IT learning devices will be provided to seven science and engineering college students experiencing financial hardship. In winter, as part of Geumcheon-gu's project "Geumchi Is Coming," kimchi will be delivered to 400 low-income residents.


Cho Yoon-sung, Secretary General of Myeongmun, said, "We are grateful for our ongoing relationship with Geumcheon-gu. It is meaningful to be able to empower the district's youth as they prepare for the future, and to help neighbors in need enjoy a warmer winter."



Mayor Choi Ki-chan stated, "The valuable support that the Myeongmun Foundation has provided for three consecutive years has given great strength to our local community. Carrying forward the foundation's commitment, we will do our utmost to carefully look after residents in need and ensure that private-sector contributions translate into practical assistance."
