[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Audi Volkswagen Korea announced on the 4th that it delivered 400 winter cold-weather kits, consisting of cold-weather supplies and quarantine items, to the Songpa Senior Welfare Center in Seoul on the 3rd. Considering the COVID-19 situation, the cold-weather kits will be delivered to the residences of elderly living alone through non-face-to-face and contactless methods.

The cold-weather kits include essential items for cold wave preparedness and COVID-19 prevention such as blankets, neck warmers, cold-weather hats, sleeping socks, heat packs, and KF94 masks.

The winter cold-weather kits were prepared as part of community social contribution activities promoted by Audi Volkswagen Korea in partnership with the nonprofit organization Korea Social Investment. This sharing activity supports marginalized neighbors who need social attention due to restricted daily life, helping them spend the winter warmly and healthily.

Ren? Koneveag, Group CEO of Audi Volkswagen Korea, said, "The rapid aging of society and the breakdown of relationships due to COVID-19 are intensifying the economic difficulties and psychological anxiety of elderly living alone. We hope that these sharing activities will provide warm support to our neighbors, and we will continue to create opportunities to spread positive values throughout society."

Meanwhile, in April, Audi Volkswagen Korea provided the 'COVID-19 Overcome Green Gift Box,' consisting of 6,300 potted companion trees and 14,000 tissue-type hand sanitizers, to approximately 2,500 children and adolescents at 475 communal living centers nationwide. The companion trees adopted by the communal living centers help alleviate depression among disadvantaged children and contribute to improving indoor air quality by 30%.
