Supporting Local Market Merchants: Shincheonji Volunteer Group Distributes Seasonal Health Kits

Uijeongbu Branch Delivered 300 Seasonal Health Care Packages at Uijeongbu Jeil Market Ahead of Chuseok Holiday to Prevent Respiratory Illnesses and Cheer On Local Vendors

💬 "With the holiday season bringing in more shoppers, I've been extra concerned about my health. Receiving these essential items brings so much strength!"

— Kim Seong-soo (65, pseudonym), Merchant at Uijeongbu Jeil Market

As the Chuseok holiday approaches, traditional open-air markets experience a surge in visitors preparing for family gatherings. However, changing seasonal temperatures during autumn also heighten risks for respiratory infections like flu and COVID-19.

To protect the health of hardworking merchants and foster community safety, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Uijeongbu Branch conducted a specialized "Seasonal Health Kit Sharing Campaign" on September 19, 2026, at Uijeongbu Jeil Market.


300 Customized Health Kits Delivered with Warm Smiles

On September 19, 16 volunteers from the Uijeongbu Branch navigated the bustling alleys of Uijeongbu Jeil Market, meeting face-to-face with local vendors:

  • Practical Essentials: Each health kit contained protective face masks, vitamin supplements, and healthy snacks specially prepared to support vendors during long working hours.

  • Reaching 300 Merchants: Volunteers personally handed out 300 health packages to market stallholders while inquiring about their well-being and offering encouraging words.

Fostering Connection Beyond Material Support

This initiative went beyond simple supply delivery—it served as a heart-to-heart bridge between volunteers and local business owners:

  • Merchant Gratitude: Vendor Kim Seong-soo noted that receiving vitamins and masks right before the busy holiday period offered both practical relief and emotional cheer.

  • Volunteer Sincerity: Volunteer Kim Seong-mi (47) shared: "We prepared these packages hoping that merchants welcoming crowds of shoppers stay healthy through the holiday rush. Connecting directly and sharing warm regards made this service deeply meaningful."

Strengthening Solidarity in Local Communities

Traditional markets represent vital community spaces where residents and business owners interact daily. By addressing the health needs of market vendors, Shincheonji Volunteer Group reinforced regional safety and solidarity.

A representative from the Uijeongbu Branch emphasized:

"Traditional markets are essential living spaces shaped together by merchants and citizens. We will continue to pay close attention to the needs of our surrounding neighbors and carry out volunteer activities that provide practical, heartfelt support."
