BGF Retail and SK Construction Provide Lunchboxes to Elderly in Vulnerable Groups

BGF Retail and SK Construction executives are delivering lunchboxes to the welfare center.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] BGF Retail, the operator of convenience store CU, announced on the 9th that it will hold a lunchbox sharing event for vulnerable groups together with SK Engineering & Construction.

BGF Retail is participating in SK Engineering & Construction's 'One Meal Sharing On(溫)Tact Project,' which runs for seven weeks from the 1st of this month until the third week of March, delivering lunchboxes. The One Meal Sharing On(溫)Tact Project is a social contribution program that provides a warm meal to vulnerable neighbors who have difficulty securing meals due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

During the project period, BGF Retail and SK Engineering & Construction will deliver a total of 9,366 lunchboxes from Monday to Friday each week to five social welfare centers located in Nowon-gu, Seoul. The welfare centers will then deliver the lunchboxes to each household in time for the seniors' meal times.

The funding for the donated lunchboxes is covered by SK Engineering & Construction. BGF Retail provides all products at manufacturing cost to deliver as many lunchboxes as possible.

A BGF Retail official said, "We empathize with the sharing project that conveys warmth through a warm meal and used our own products and logistics system to ensure swift delivery," adding, "We will continue to actively participate in activities that help our neighbors in welfare blind spots."
