Walkerhill Launches 'One Meal Sharing On(tact) Project' for Community Coexistence

On the 25th, over 200 elderly from vulnerable groups using Gwangjin Senior Welfare Center
Provided lunch boxes, Korean traditional sweets, and masks made with local businesses

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Walkerhill Hotel & Resort announced on the 26th that it has launched the 'One Meal Sharing On(tact) Project,' which shares lunchboxes created in collaboration with small business owners (small restaurants) in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, with vulnerable elderly people in the local community.

On the 25th, Walkerhill provided lunchboxes to 200 vulnerable elderly people using the Gwangjin Senior Welfare Center. Among them, 60 elderly people with mobility difficulties were personally visited to deliver the lunchboxes. These lunchboxes were made in partnership with lunchbox companies in Gwangjin-gu, whose sales have decreased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, contributing to the sales increase of local small business owners (small restaurants).

The lunchboxes, for which the Walkerhill culinary team provided consulting to ensure a nutritionally balanced menu, included Walkerhill SUPEX kimchi. Traditional Korean sweets and mask gifts were also added in consideration of the upcoming holidays. The containers for packing the lunchboxes, spoons, chopsticks, forks, and bags were all made from eco-friendly materials.

The 'One Meal Sharing On(tact) Project' is an activity that practices the 'Safety Net' establishment emphasized by SK Group since last year. Within SK Networks, Walkerhill was the first to implement it. The ongoing Ontact project is based on a win-win model that orders lunchboxes from local small business owners to increase their sales and provides these lunchboxes to vulnerable groups who have difficulty securing meals. It is expected to be promoted in various ways in the future.

Starting with lunchbox support for vulnerable elderly people using the Gwangjin Senior Welfare Center, Walkerhill plans to continuously support lunchboxes for vulnerable groups in the future.

Hyun Mongju, General Manager of Walkerhill Hotel & Resort, said, "This project is even more meaningful as it not only helps vulnerable groups in the local community but also promotes coexistence with small business owners," adding, "Starting with this Ontact project, Walkerhill will consider various activities it can undertake to solve problems in communities in need and seek ways for mutual growth."
