A representative from Keimyung University Daegu Dongsan Hospital said, "The lunchboxes provided by Woori Financial Group are a great source of strength for our medical staff," and expressed gratitude, saying, "We thank the executives and employees of Woori Financial Group who readily responded to the request for support extension."

To prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection, Woori Financial supported prevention kits for high-risk groups in January, and in February, delivered food worth 500 million KRW and employee donations to vulnerable elderly and child care facilities in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions.

This month, Woori Financial is supporting disinfection projects at 160 child welfare facilities in Seoul and is raising funds for COVID-19 relief using the online funding platform WeBee Crowd.
