Shinwon Donates Clothing Worth 500 Million Won for Disaster Relief

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Shinwon (CEO Park Jeong-ju) announced on the 19th that it has delivered clothing worth 500 million KRW to flood victims affected by the recent monsoon season through the Korea Church Volunteer Group.

Due to the unprecedented long monsoon rains following the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), flood victims nationwide have suffered damages such as house flooding. This effort aims to help the affected citizens quickly return to their daily lives.

The clothing worth approximately 500 million KRW, about 18,000 pieces, donated by Shinwon through the Korea Church Volunteer Group, will be given to designated special disaster areas including Cheonan, Cheorwon, Namwon, Gurye, and Goseong. For flood victims who have difficulty obtaining or washing clothes due to house flooding, these will be provided as emergency relief supplies, and will also be distributed to volunteers assisting in recovery activities.

A Shinwon representative stated, “Despite the unprecedented downturn in the fashion industry caused by COVID-19 and the prolonged monsoon, we decided to donate clothing after seeking ways a fashion company could help with recovery amid nationwide flood damage caused by extraordinary heavy rains,” adding, “We sincerely hope that everyone will join forces to restore normalcy as quickly as possible.”
