Asung Daiso Delivers Happiness Boxes to Low-Income Families in Celebration of Family Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Asung Daiso Co., Ltd., a fixed-price household goods store, announced on the 21st that it delivered happiness boxes to low-income families in celebration of Family Month.

The happiness boxes delivered this time consisted of stationery items such as bags and crayons needed by low-income children facing delayed school openings due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), health products such as heating pads and acupressure mats for elderly living alone, and hygiene products such as toothbrushes and wet wipes.

Daiso collaborated with the Korea Social Welfare Council, Changwon City Hall, Gimhae City Hall, and others to deliver happiness boxes to support low-income families in various regions. In addition, it plans to deliver additional happiness boxes to the Samcheok area in cooperation with Global Vision, with which it formed a partnership last December in the Dokye area of Samcheok City, Gangwon Province, through a social contribution program called "A Happy World with Danuri-Daiso."

Earlier this year, Daiso continued to expand its sharing activities by providing daily necessities to quarantined patients at a hospital in Gwangju visited by confirmed COVID-19 cases and delivering happiness boxes to medical staff in Daegu Metropolitan City in April. It stated that it will continue sharing activities whenever there is a need for support through institutions and private organizations in the future.

A Daiso official said, "Thinking of the children and elderly who will be delighted to receive the happiness boxes fills my heart with pride," and added, "Daiso plans to continue support to contribute to the local community in line with its name as a 'People's Store'."
