Gyoyukwon Gongjehoe Donates 30,000 Briquettes to Vulnerable Groups

2500 Million Won Worth of 200 Briquettes Delivered to 150 Households in Seoul

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jihwan] The-K Korea Teachers' Credit Union announced on the 16th that it donated 30,000 briquettes to help vulnerable groups have a warm winter at the end of the year.

The Credit Union donated approximately 30,000 briquettes worth 25 million KRW to the Warm Korean Peninsula Love Briquette Sharing Movement Headquarters. The donated briquettes will be delivered to 150 vulnerable households in Seoul, with 200 briquettes each.

Since 2010, the Credit Union has conducted briquette-sharing activities every year with direct participation from its executives and employees. This year, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, no volunteer activities were held, and warmth was conveyed in the form of donations.

Lee Mi-kyung, Head of Management Support at the Credit Union, said, "I heard the unfortunate news that briquette donations have significantly decreased compared to last year due to the impact of COVID-19. I hope that the briquettes, filled with the warm hearts of the Credit Union’s executives and employees, will help our neighbors have a cozy winter."

Since 2009, the Credit Union has formed the 'Chamnanum Volunteer Group,' an in-house social contribution organization where all executives and employees participate in various volunteer activities such as blood donation, kimchi-making volunteer work, and briquette sharing. Last month, they delivered kimchi to vulnerable groups in Yeongdeungpo-gu and sponsored a free meal project.
