Korea Financial Investment Association Holds Love Rice, Briquettes, and School Supplies Sharing Event for Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] The Korea Financial Investment Association announced on the 9th that it carried out the 'Sharing Love Rice and Briquettes' activity, providing rice and briquettes to low-income households in Susaek-dong, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual employee briquette delivery volunteer activity, which has been conducted since 2009, was omitted. Instead, 350 bags of rice (10kg each) supported by the New Hope Healing Fund, jointly funded by the financial sector, 5,000 briquettes prepared by the association, and 100 boxes of kimchi (5kg each) were delivered to low-income households through the Susaek-dong Community Service Center.

On the 10th, to celebrate the year-end and New Year, approximately 20 million KRW worth of stationery gift sets will be delivered to 750 children at social welfare facilities and local children's centers under the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation, supported by the New Hope Healing Fund.

The Korea Financial Investment Association annually promotes industry-wide initiatives such as the 'Love Kimchi Fair,' 'Love Study Room,' and 'Charity Baseball Tournament.' It also consistently practices various volunteer activities to support local communities, including employee volunteer work at the Han Sarang Village for people with severe disabilities, Yeongdeungpo Disabled Love Sharing House, and meal service volunteering at Woori Mapo Welfare Center. At the end of the year, all employees participate in donations to support surgeries for heart disease patients, continuing efforts to fulfill social responsibility.
