Hyundai Construction Donates Livelihood Support Kits and Blood Donation Certificates to Daegu, Gyeongbuk, and Busan

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Hyundai Engineering & Construction has stepped up to help neighbors in the local community to overcome the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

On the 13th, Hyundai Engineering & Construction announced that it recently delivered livelihood support kits (daily necessities, food, hand sanitizers, etc.) for residents in the Daegu, Gyeongbuk, and Busan areas facing difficulties to Plan Korea at its headquarters in Gye-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Plan Korea is an international relief and development NGO engaged in domestic and overseas education, health, livelihood support, and emergency disaster relief activities. Last year, 500 blood donation certificates collected by Hyundai Engineering & Construction employees were also donated to places in need.

The delivery ceremony was attended by Yoon Young-jun, Head of the Housing Business Division (Vice President) of Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Kim Byung-hak, Head of Plan Korea, and other officials. Hyundai Engineering & Construction donated 700 livelihood support kits to residents in Daegu, Gyeongbuk, and Busan who are experiencing difficulties, using the 'Love Sharing Fund' raised by employee donations last year. These kits are distributed through Plan Korea to areas where food and daily necessities support is not smoothly provided due to the COVID-19 situation.

Since 2010, Hyundai Engineering & Construction has been helping underprivileged groups at home and abroad through the Love Sharing Fund, which is voluntarily raised by a certain amount of employees' salaries every year. Employees also conduct blood donation campaigns every quarter to collect blood donation certificates. The company stated that 138 employees voluntarily participated in this blood donation campaign, which was conducted with strict social distancing and prior temperature checks.

Vice President Yoon Young-jun said, "Through this sharing, I hope it will be an opportunity to think about and overcome together the communities facing difficulties in Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Busan, and other areas," adding, "We will continue to support places in need in the future."
