Hanwha Total Delivers Food Supplies to Jjokbangchon to Overcome COVID-19

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Hanwha Total carried out sharing activities by delivering food sets to residents of the Namdaemun jjokbangchon (small room village) who are having difficulty receiving free meal support due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Hanwha Total announced that on the 24th, it visited the Namdaemun jjokbangchon near its Seoul office and delivered food sets to about 450 residents.

With the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic significantly reducing face-to-face meal support activities such as free meals, Hanwha Total stepped up to help solve meal problems for vulnerable groups by providing this food kit support. In particular, the food sets were prepared with retort pouch foods and side dishes so that elderly residents could easily have their meals.

In addition to this food support, Hanwha Total has continued activities such as providing samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) in summer, delivering lunch boxes, and supplying winter cold-weather clothing for residents of Namdaemun jjokbangchon. These efforts are made more meaningful as they are carried out with social contribution funds matched 1:1 by employees and the company.

Meanwhile, Hanwha Total is also participating in overcoming the national crisis through sharing activities with the local community, such as donating quarantine supplies worth about 100 million KRW to Seosan City, where the Daesan plant is located, including 10,000 masks, 2,400 protective suits, and 2,000 hand sanitizers.

Son Joo-hee, head of social contribution, said, "As the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic increases national difficulties, we hope this food support will be of even small help to our neighbors."
