| On the 8th, volunteers from the Incheon Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group are giving hand massages to elderly residents at a senior centre in Bupyeong-dong, Bupyeong District, Incheon. |
The Incheon branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group visited a senior center in Bupyeong-dong, Incheon, on 8th September to provide hair and beauty services and companionship to local elderly residents.
The monthly volunteer programme supports seniors who have difficulty visiting hairdressers due to limited mobility. Volunteers provided haircuts and styling according to individual requests, while also offering hand massages and spending time talking and singing with the seniors.
One senior resident, Hye-nam Kim (73), expressed her appreciation, saying, “I am really thankful that my hair was cut so beautifully. They listen to my stories and give me hand massages every time they come, so I always look forward to their visits.”
Hye-in Jeong (55), who volunteered for the first time, said, “I realised that volunteering is not just about helping with what is needed, but also about sharing our hearts and spending time together.”
Meanwhile, the Vice Branch Manager of the Incheon Branch has stated their plan to “regularly visit and communicate with seniors” by continuing to focus on emotional care services, housing and environmental improvement, and practical support tailored to local community needs.
By emphasising continuity, coordination, and on-site action, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group aims to remain a steady partner to local communities nationwide in 2026 and beyond.
