CJ Group to Provide Kimchi for 3,000 Families of Four During Winter
14 Years of Group Employee Volunteer Activities Linked to 'Kimchi Sharing'... Delivering Love Kimchi
Supporting 90 Tons of 'Ready-made Kimchi' to 2,000 Regional Children's Centers Nationwide to Prevent COVID-19 Spread
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] CJ is stepping up to share kimchi to ease the kimchi-making worries of underprivileged neighbors during the winter season.
CJ Group announced on the 8th that it will deliver 90 tons of kimchi by the end of the year to 2,000 regional children's centers nationwide, as well as to senior welfare facilities and facilities for the disabled. This amount is enough for 3,000 households (based on a family of four) to eat over the winter period (3 months).
Since 2007, CJ has conducted kimchi-making volunteer activities every year at the end of the year with its employees. This year, to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), they will provide "ready-made kimchi" earlier than usual.
To this end, the CJ Nanum Foundation received prior applications from regional children's centers nationwide, and major CJ Group affiliates also plan to share kimchi with local communities.
A CJ representative said, "Although we are disappointed that we cannot participate directly in kimchi-making volunteer work this year, we hope the carefully prepared kimchi will help our neighbors have a warm winter."
Meanwhile, CJ Group donated 1 billion KRW in February this year to overcome COVID-19 damages, and in March and August, they practiced neighborly love by supporting nationwide study rooms (providing food worth about 300 million KRW) and flood victims (donating 500 million KRW), respectively.
