Yeongyang saemaul association shares kimchi, banchan with vulnerable households

The Yeongyang-gun Saemaul Association in North Gyeongsang Province held its "2026 Sharing Kimchi and Banchan with Love" event Tuesday at the Yeongyang-gun Saemaul Center, with about 60 members taking part.

Organized by the Yeongyang-gun Saemaul Women's Association, members made kimchi from 1,200 heads of cabbage and prepared side dishes including stir-fried pork, which were delivered to 300 vulnerable households in the area.

The event was part of the "Happy Home Building" project, aimed at supporting the dietary needs of vulnerable residents during winter and fostering a spirit of neighborly care.

Association President Lee Ju-i said the group hoped the kimchi and banchan, prepared with care, would bring warmth and comfort to neighbors, and pledged to continue sharing and volunteer efforts.

Yeongyang County Chief Oh Do-chang thanked the saemaul women's association members for their service and said the county would work to spread a culture of sharing and volunteerism throughout the community.
