Launched last month, the Home&Smile Volunteer Group has continued sharing through non-face-to-face donations due to social distancing measures caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). This time, they will deliver daily necessities packages consisting of quarantine supplies, learning materials, and snacks for children left without care due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation. The support items will be provided quarterly to 380 elementary school students using local children's centers in Gangseo-gu. Additionally, kimchi for kimjang will be provided to help low-income vulnerable families. A total of 149 residents in Gangseo-gu will receive 10 kg of kimchi each.
Home&Shopping continues its social contribution efforts to overcome COVID-19 for local communities and marginalized groups. Following a donation of 300 million KRW to the Korean Red Cross in April to overcome COVID-19, they expanded related social contribution activities by supporting desk partitions at Gojin Elementary School near their headquarters in June and providing 'Smart Home Cleaning' services for low-income severely disabled individuals in November.
