CJ O Shopping Conducts 'On(tact)' Sharing Event for Lunar New Year

Delivery of Holiday Meals to 150 Elderly Single-Person Households in Seocho-gu
'Warmth' Delivered with Packaged Meal Kits to Prevent COVID-19
Postcards with 'Sinchuknyeon' Acrostic Poems Written by Employees Enclosed

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] CJ O Shopping announced on the 9th that it carried out a sharing activity delivering holiday food to 150 elderly living alone households in Seocho-gu, Seoul on the 8th in celebration of the Lunar New Year. They prepared holiday food packages by putting rice cake soup rice cakes, beef bone soup, fruits, and more in airtight containers and delivered them personally.

Considering the COVID-19 situation, the event adopted a warm-hearted 'On(tact)' method to convey warmth with minimal face-to-face contact. CJ O Shopping donated holiday food to the Bangbae Senior Welfare Center located near its office building, and only welfare workers participated in the packaging work.

Encouragement messages written directly by CJ O Shopping employees were also delivered together. Employees wrote acrostic poems using the keyword 'Sinchuknyeon' (the Year of the Ox) for the elderly living alone. Kim Ji-won, MD of the sports team, wrote on a postcard, "In the Year of the Ox, may you be healthy, filled with congratulations and joy, and have lucky days from the beginning to the end of the year."

Nam Woo-jong, head of CJ O Shopping's External Cooperation Team, said, "We prepared a small gift with warmth for the elderly who have to spend difficult times at home due to recent difficulties going out," and added, "We will continue to actively carry out sharing activities for neighbors struggling due to COVID-19."

Meanwhile, CJ O Shopping has been conducting rice cake soup sharing activities every Lunar New Year in cooperation with the welfare center since it built and donated the Bangbae Senior Welfare Center to Seocho-gu in 2009. In addition, it actively carries out various volunteer activities for the underprivileged in the community, such as kimchi-making volunteer work and goods bazaars.
