Seven Eleven Donates Food Worth 40 Million KRW to Child Welfare Facilities in Daegu Region

Donation on the 21st Anniversary
Delivered to Over 30 Child Welfare Facilities in Daegu Area

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Seven Eleven announced on the 20th that it donated food products worth a total of 40 million KRW to underprivileged children in the Daegu area who are struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in celebration of its anniversary on the 21st.

Seven Eleven made this donation to help low-income children who are having difficulties with meals due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the delay of school openings. The donated items consist of snacks and beverages for children and will be delivered to about 30 child welfare facilities in the Daegu area through the Korea National Council on Social Welfare's nationwide food bank.

Meanwhile, last month, Seven Eleven also held a ‘Love Food Sharing Ceremony’ with the nationwide food bank and donated food products worth a total of 45 million KRW to underprivileged groups in the Gangwon-do region. Additionally, as part of a project to support local farms, it introduced ‘Yeongcheon Peeled Garlic’ and ‘Muan Fresh Onions’ to support farms hit by COVID-19 and actively promote excellent local agricultural products to consumers.

Ham Taeyoung, head of the Communications Division at Seven Eleven, said, “On the occasion of our anniversary, we made this donation to overcome the difficulties of the local community together and to provide a small help to underprivileged neighbors around us,” adding, “We will continue to carry out social contribution activities to improve the welfare of underprivileged groups.”
