SK Incheon Petrochem, Donates Bean Sprout Cultivation Kits to Elderly Living Alone

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] The newly coined term 'Corona Blue' has emerged as many people complain of depression and lethargy due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. In response, SK Innovation's subsidiary SK Incheon Petrochem has announced on the 14th that it has delivered 100 sets of 'Bean Sprout Cultivation Kits,' consisting of bean sprout cultivators and beans, to the Seo-gu Senior Welfare Center operated by the Seo-gu Facilities Management Corporation in Incheon to help alleviate the depression of elderly people living alone in the region.

This sharing initiative was promoted as part of the 'Community Elderly Living Alone Network Enhancement Activities' that SK Incheon Petrochem and the Seo-gu Senior Welfare Center have been conducting together. SK Incheon Petrochem prepared this sharing with the hope that elderly people living alone, who have difficulty engaging in outdoor activities due to COVID-19, could experience the process of harvest through the small task of cultivating bean sprouts and enjoy a hobby, even if just a little.

Care managers for elderly people living alone at the Seo-gu Senior Welfare Center visited their homes one by one to check on their well-being and delivered the bean sprout cultivation kits. The elderly recipients plan not only to grow the bean sprouts for use as ingredients but also to share and support neighbors who are struggling due to COVID-19.
