A female farmer balancing her studies and agriculture is spreading warmth in the community by donating rice for the second consecutive year.
On October 19, the Sunchun Volunteer Center announced that Im Mi-ae, the representative of Davida Farm, donated 10 bags of 10 kg rice, totaling 100 kg, to support the dietary needs of vulnerable groups in the area.
Im previously donated 100 kg of rice to the Sunchun Volunteer Center last year, bringing her total contributions over the past two years to 200 kg.
This donation is significant not only for its generosity but also for its consistency, as Im continues to give back each year.
Currently a student at Sunchon National University, Im is a lifelong learner who is actively involved in agriculture while pursuing her education. She is also a member of the Korean Women Farmers Association in Goheung County, participating in local agricultural development and community service activities.
Despite her busy schedule of farming and studying, she remains committed to helping those in need.
The donated rice will be used in the 'Love Rice Truck' free meal program operated by the Sunchun Volunteer Center.
The 'Love Rice Truck' provides meals to elderly individuals living alone and vulnerable groups in the community. It serves not only as a meal support initiative but also fosters neighborly connections and community care.
The Sunchun Volunteer Center plans to utilize the donated rice to provide meals for those who use the Love Rice Truck.
Lee Sin-sook, head of the Sunchun Volunteer Center, expressed gratitude, stating, "I deeply appreciate Im Mi-ae for her generous rice donation again this year. The warm heart she has shared will be used carefully to provide substantial meals and comfort to the elderly and vulnerable groups waiting for the rice truck."
This donation highlights the involvement of local farmers in addressing community challenges beyond their agricultural work.
Meanwhile, the Sunchun Volunteer Center continues to promote various volunteer and donation initiatives linked to community resources, aiming to expand private support and volunteer participation to enhance support for vulnerable groups.
