Gwangju Shinsegae Supports Emergency Relief Supplies Costs for Youth Facing COVID-19 Crisis

1000 Million Won Delivered to Gwangju Youth Center

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Gwangju Shinsegae Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Dong-hoon) has supported 10 million won for emergency relief supplies to the Gwangju Youth Center to help young people struggling due to COVID-19.

According to Gwangju Shinsegae on the 14th, the delivery ceremony was attended by Kim Jong-hyo, Deputy Mayor of Gwangju Metropolitan City, Lee Dong-hoon, CEO of Gwangju Shinsegae, and Park Soo-min, Director of Gwangju Youth Center.

This sponsorship was promoted to assist the project of the Gwangju Youth Center that provides food vouchers worth 100,000 won called "The Deodeunham" to young people facing difficulties in life due to income reduction, unemployment, and business suspension caused by COVID-19.

The 10 million won sponsorship was raised by holding a three-day local youth emergency relief supplies support bazaar from the 3rd to the 5th on the first floor event hall.

A Gwangju Youth Center official said, "'The Deodeunham' received applications from a total of 2,239 people, and food supplies were delivered to 200 people through the first lottery. On the 14th, 200 more people will be selected through the second lottery, and a third lottery will be held later with funds donated by Gwangju Shinsegae."

CEO Lee Dong-hoon said, "Seeing the Gwangju Youth Center supporting local youth struggling due to COVID-19 in various ways, Gwangju Shinsegae decided to support to help even a little."

Meanwhile, Gwangju Shinsegae also decided to pay the product fees early in April and May to small and medium-sized partner companies struggling due to COVID-19. Early payments will be made to about 50 partner companies that wished for early payment by the 11th of last month.
