Chungcheongnam-do delivers clothes and supplies collected from residents and provincial employees to the campaign committee from the 4th to the 12th.
Chungcheongnam-do has participated in a winter clothing and workwear sharing initiative to help migrant workers, for whom South Korea's winter is unfamiliar, stay warm.
The provincial government conducted a winter clothing and workwear donation drive for provincial residents and staff from November 4 to 12, and delivered the voluntarily collected items to the "Migrant Worker Winter Clothing and Workwear Sharing Campaign Committee" on November 13.
This sharing initiative was organized to provide winter apparel and work supplies to migrant workers and to raise social awareness regarding their working environments, safety, and welfare.
The province participated in this activity to put into practice the "Chungcheongnam-do Declaration for Respecting the Human Rights of Migrant Workers" announced last August.
During the collection period, a variety of winter clothing and items were gathered, including padding jackets, jumpers, workwear, scarves, gloves, hats, and safety shoes.
The donated items are scheduled to be distributed to migrant workers at the "2026 Migrant Worker Winter Clothing and Workwear Sharing Event" to be held on November 15 at the gymnasium on the 3rd floor of the Ulsan Auto Valley Welfare Center.
The sharing event is hosted by a campaign committee consisting of 42 organizations, including the Public Partnership Solidarity Fund, the Finance Industry Public Interest Foundation, the Financial Industry Ubuntu Foundation, and the Jeon Tae-il Foundation.
Cho Il-gyo, Director-General of the Economy and Trade Bureau of the province, stated, "We hope that this small act of sharing will provide comfort and strength to migrant workers spending the winter in an unfamiliar land," adding, "We will continue our efforts to spread a culture that respects the value of labor and protects the human rights and safety of migrant workers."
