[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Korea National Oil Corporation practiced a kind donation by purchasing products from a school uniform company struggling with management difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic in advance and delivering them to low-income students.

The Oil Corporation purchased goods worth 20 million won from a small business school uniform company near the storage base, which is experiencing difficulties due to decreased sales, and delivered them on the 22nd to 65 low-income students near the Yongin and Pyeongtaek branches.

The Oil Corporation organized this event to support local small business owners facing economic difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation and to alleviate the financial burden on students from low-income families.

The gifted items include school uniforms, gym uniforms, and daily wear. The corporation signed a contract with the company by issuing gift certificates (valid for one year) that can be used to apply for school uniforms, allowing students to use them when needed.

Korea National Oil Corporation has been actively carrying out various community contribution activities such as free LED replacements for energy-vulnerable groups and heating oil support for energy-disadvantaged neighbors to promote the development of communities where its nine nationwide storage bases are located.

Lee Joo-hyun, Head of the Oil Storage Division, said, “I hope both local small business owners and students who are going through difficult times due to the COVID-19 situation stay strong,” and added, “The corporation will continue to support neighbors in difficult situations and be a company that works together with the local community.”
