[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Toyota Motor Korea and Toyota Financial Services Korea announced on the 13th that they donated 20 million KRW and 10 million KRW respectively to ‘Anna's House,’ a social welfare foundation in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do. The donations will be used to support medical care and living assistance for homeless people struggling due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Toyota Motor Korea has been consistently participating in meal service volunteer activities for the homeless at Anna's House since 2005. Following social distancing guidelines due to COVID-19, instead of serving meals at the dining hall, they contributed by preparing 670 packed meals to support Anna's House activities.

Nobuyuki Takemura, President of Toyota Motor Korea, said, "We hope to provide some help to the socially vulnerable homeless people who are facing difficulties amid the ongoing COVID-19 situation. We will continue to make greater efforts to contribute to the local community as a corporate citizen of the Republic of Korea."

Meanwhile, in February, Toyota Motor Korea also donated 100 million KRW to the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation to support COVID-19 prevention activities for vulnerable children.
