Seoul's Gangseo-gu has launched a large-scale kimchi distribution drive to help struggling residents get through the winter.
The district said it prepared 10,000 heads of kimchi through its "Sharing Kimchi with Love" event and will deliver them to low-income and other vulnerable residents in the area.
The initiative aims to ease the food burden on residents facing financial hardship and rising prices ahead of the cold season, and to spread a culture of sharing and mutual support throughout the community.
Organizers said the project goes beyond simple food assistance — distributing 10,000 heads of kimchi represents a community-wide effort to look after vulnerable neighbors and strengthen bonds between residents.
The district said it plans to ensure the kimchi reaches every household in need.
"I hope the kimchi we have prepared with care brings warmth and encouragement to those going through difficult times," Gangseo-gu District Mayor Jin Kyo-hoon said. "We will continue to work through community sharing activities so that no neighbor is left behind."
