Bong Group Donates 'Jeongseong Box' to Ssokbangchon on 18th Anniversary

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] Bon Group, which includes Bon I F, a leading Korean food franchise company in Korea, donated 515 ‘Jeongseong Boxes’ prepared together by employees and headquarters through fundraising to elderly residents of jjokbangchon who are experiencing difficulties in life due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) on the 18th anniversary of its founding on the 9th.

Based on the founding philosophy of ‘everyone cooperates to achieve good,’ Bon Group has made efforts to share the difficulties of the local community by having all employees participate in volunteer activities in jjokbangchon instead of official events on the anniversary every year.

This year, considering the difficulty of on-site volunteer activities due to the spread of COVID-19, ‘Jeongseong Boxes’ containing easy-to-eat daily foods such as Soonsubon pouch porridge, jangjorim, and bottled water were delivered to elderly residents of jjokbangchon living in Dongdaemun-gu.

Bon Group’s ‘Jeongseong Box’ is a gift prepared in the form of a ‘matching grant,’ where the headquarters also supports donations in proportion to the donations paid by employees, and it is based on the voluntary donations and solidarity of employees for the elderly who have difficulty having meals on time due to COVID-19.

Group Leader Kim Cheol-ho said, “I feel very sorry that we could not carry out volunteer activities in jjokbangchon, which all employees participated in every year, due to the resurgence of COVID-19,” and added, “I hope the elderly spend a strong day with the ‘Jeongseong Box’ filled with the warm hearts of Bon Group employees, ‘Bonjukin,’ even in difficult situations due to COVID-19.”
