[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Semiconductor wafer manufacturer SK Siltron announced on the 27th that it will carry out a public-private joint 'On(tact) Project' to provide free lunchboxes to elderly and children suffering from food insecurity in the Gumi area of Gyeongbuk.

SK Siltron plans to provide 75,000 lunchboxes over three months to 200 children and 400 elderly people facing food insecurity, in cooperation with Gumi City Hall and the Gumi Saemaeul Central Market Merchants Association.
