Donation of 200 Boxes of 5kg Kimchi Worth 9 Million Won to Ssangbongdong Women's Association

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] BASF Korea Co., Ltd. Yeosu Plant (Plant Manager Lee Un-shin) delivered 200 boxes of 5kg kimchi (worth approximately 9 million KRW) to Ssangbong-dong Women's Association (President Seo Sam-sim) on the 2nd to ease the economic burden of disadvantaged households and share warm affection among neighbors during the kimchi-making season.

BASF Korea Co., Ltd. Yeosu Plant did not hold the annual kimchi-making event this year to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and instead sponsored finished kimchi products.

The sponsored kimchi will be distributed to 200 low-income households in the area who find it difficult to make kimchi, including senior centers, elderly living alone, multicultural families, child-headed households, and disabled households.

Seo Sam-sim, president of Ssangbong-dong Women's Association, said, “We thank the employees of BASF Korea Yeosu Plant who practice love for neighbors in need, and let us continue to create a warm Ssangbong-dong by sharing together through ongoing volunteer activities.”

Lee Un-shin, plant manager of BASF Korea Yeosu Plant, said, “I am happy to share small sincerity and love for the disadvantaged and marginalized people around us,” adding, “We will continue to find ways to support neighbors in need and volunteer together with our employees.”

Meanwhile, BASF Korea Yeosu Plant has been holding kimchi-making events with Ssangbong-dong Women's Association for the past 10 years and practices beautiful volunteer work for neighbors in need by providing lunch service at Yeosu Senior Welfare Center and participating in house repair volunteer activities.
