On December 19, 2025, the Northern Asia-Pacific Division held a year-end neighbor-sharing event to extend warm greetings to residents living near its office building. Through this event, the Division expressed gratitude to neighbors who had shared the year alongside them and sought to spread the warmth of the season.
For the event, the Northern Asia-Pacific Division prepared 90 gift boxes each of soy milk and roasted seaweed. The staff included a carefully written letter in every gift set, transforming the gesture into a meaningful exchange of hearts as well as goods. In the letter, the Division shared its appreciation, writing, “As the year comes to a close, we would like to offer a small token of gratitude to our neighbors who have walked with us throughout the year. We prepared these gift sets with our thanks and encouragement, and we hope this sharing becomes a moment to experience the season’s warmth. We also wish you peace and good health in the coming new year.”
Approximately 20 staff members took part in the event. They visited nearby homes around the Division office and quietly placed the gift sets at residents’ doorsteps, putting their love for neighbors into action. Although the activity lasted only a short time, staff members reflected that delivering the gifts allowed them to rediscover the true meaning of the year-end season.
A representative of the Northern Asia-Pacific Division said, “We did not aim to host a large or elaborate event. Instead, we wanted to express our gratitude as members of a community living alongside our neighbors. We hope this small gift brings comfort and encouragement and creates an opportunity to share the warmth of the year-end season.” The representative added, “We will continue to carry out small but meaningful acts of sharing rooted in care and love for our local community. We hope these efforts come together to create a positive impact and help cultivate a warm and caring community culture.”
