Yongin Special City Mayor Lee Sangil said on October 14 that the city, Samsung Electronics' DS Division and the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea had delivered three eco-friendly vehicles to three local social welfare organizations.


Attendees at the handover ceremony, held in the reception room at City Hall, included Yongin Mayor Lee Sangil, Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea Secretary General Kim Hyojin, Samsung Electronics DS Division Executive Ha Heonjae, and representatives of the recipient organizations.


The three organizations receiving vehicles were the Yongin City Council on Social Welfare, Baegam Community Child Center and Hannuri Community Child Center. The vehicles will be used to provide welfare services and help service users get around.


The eco-friendly vehicle support program is funded by donations raised through the Love Walking Campaign, which Samsung Electronics DS Division employees join voluntarily. The funds are used to purchase eco-friendly vehicles, which are then given to social welfare organizations selected through an open application process.


Since signing an agreement with Yongin City during its eighth popularly elected administration, Samsung Electronics' DS Division has continued its eco-friendly vehicle support program for local social welfare facilities. Including the three vehicles delivered this time, it has provided a total of 20 vehicles to date.


Mayor Lee said, "Samsung Electronics' DS Division signed an agreement with Yongin Special City during its eighth popularly elected administration and is putting its commitment to sharing into practice by providing eco-friendly vehicles to local social welfare facilities. We will continue working to ensure that welfare support programs undertaken jointly by the city and Samsung Electronics carry on."
