Foundation extends South Gyeongsang flood relief after earlier Tongyeong aid
The SME Love Sharing Foundation has delivered 90 million won ($66,800) worth of relief supplies to flood victims in Geoje, South Gyeongsang Province, continuing its support for communities in the region after earlier aid to flood-hit Tongyeong.
The foundation visited Geoje City Hall on Monday to hand over the relief goods for residents displaced by heavy rains.
The supplies included bedding and pads worth 75 million won and wet wipes valued at 15 million won, funded through donations from small and medium-sized enterprises including World Inotech and Gyeongil Metal, with goods contributed by Evezary and Hanul Saengyak.
The foundation also delivered 10 million won worth of relief supplies to flood-affected Tongyeong in August, bringing the items directly to evacuation shelters for displaced residents there.
Son In-guk, chairman of the SME Love Sharing Foundation, said the small and medium-sized enterprise community's attention and support are needed to help flood victims in South Gyeongsang Province return to their daily lives as soon as possible. "We will continue to actively fulfill our social responsibilities, take the lead in disaster relief and share in the hardships of local communities," he said.
