BGF Welfare Foundation Provides Warm Breakfast to Food-Insecure Children

Weekend Support Gaps Easily Occur
Use HelloNature Dawn Delivery
One Meal Each on Saturday and Sunday Delivered Directly to Home

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] BGF Welfare Foundation announced on the 28th that it has signed a business agreement with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education Gangseo Yangcheon Education Support Office to support weekend meals for children from low-income families through Hello Nature's early morning delivery service.

The signing ceremony was attended by Yang Kyung-hee, Chairperson of BGF Welfare Foundation, Min Gye-hong, Superintendent of Gangseo Yangcheon Education Support Office, and other officials.

Children from low-income families can have meals at school or local children's centers on weekdays, but on weekends, due to the lack of care facilities and personnel, it is difficult to provide support. Considering this situation, BGF Welfare Foundation delivers weekend meals directly to the homes of children facing food insecurity through early morning delivery.

The support targets approximately 50 elementary school students from legally low-income families, single-parent and grandparent-headed families recommended by the Education Support Office within priority educational welfare schools in Gangseo-gu and Yangcheon-gu, as well as those who, for various reasons, do not receive government assistance.

Starting in May, these children will receive one meal each on Saturdays and Sundays through the online food life shop Hello Nature's early morning delivery system. The meals are composed of balanced and healthy options such as organic black rice, bibimbap sets, fruit lunch boxes, beef vegetable porridge, egg salad, and hamburger steak.

Yang Kyung-hee, Chairperson of BGF Welfare Foundation, said, “The meal support project for children facing food insecurity is not merely an activity to satisfy hunger but a precious nourishment that fosters our children's dreams and hopes.” She added, “We will continue to create a bright society where all children can smile together through more attentive care and sincere activities.”

Meanwhile, in March, BGF Welfare Foundation also carried out emergency support activities to address the meal gap caused by the delay in school openings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In cooperation with local elementary schools, they provided approximately three weeks' worth of ready-to-eat meals to children at risk of food insecurity.

BGF Welfare Foundation conducts various welfare projects for socially and economically disadvantaged children in our society. Since its establishment, the foundation has improved facilities of group homes that raise children in need of protection in Gyeonggi-do in a family-like environment and has implemented social growth and independence programs for these children. Since 2010, it has supported cochlear implant surgeries for about 40 vulnerable hearing-impaired children and has also supported cultural and artistic experience activities for visually impaired children and adolescents.
