How Andong Agricultural Cooperative is Transforming Local Support: A Deep Dive into the ‘Donghaeng Table’ Initiative

[iNews24 reporter Lee Min] Andong Agricultural Cooperative (Andong Nonghyup) in North Gyeongsang Province said on April 17 that it hosted a “Donghaeng Table” sharing event for patrons of the Andong Comprehensive Welfare Center for the Disabled.

The event went beyond a simple donation. Cooperative members and staff donned aprons and worked in the kitchen, putting the cooperative’s commitment to local community values into practice.

Andong Nonghyup employees and the Hometown Housewives’ Happiness-Sharing Volunteer Group handled every step, from preparing ingredients to cooking and serving.

The event reaffirmed the cooperative’s management policy—achieving shared growth with the community through responsible management and positive influence—by putting those values into action.

The Hometown Housewives’ Happiness-Sharing Volunteer Group has long supported vulnerable groups and participated in community service, and it once again embodied the spirit of sharing at this event.

Kwon Tae-hyung, chair of Andong Nonghyup, said, “We organized this event to translate responsible management into tangible help for the community. Going forward, we will continue a range of social contribution activities that promote shared growth with the community, grounded in positive influence.”
