SK Broadband announced on the 2nd that it will extend the ‘One Meal Sharing On(tact) Project’ until October. The ‘Love Lunchboxes’ delivered to elderly people living alone in Suwon-si, Gyeonggi Province in the first quarter of this year will be expanded through the summer season to provide about 33,000 meals.

Considering the weather, alternative meals such as processed foods will be added to the existing lunchboxes. Three social enterprises and six local welfare centers in Suwon-si will collaborate on meal preparation and delivery.

The One Meal Sharing Ontact Project is a win-win model that helps small local restaurants and social enterprises struggling due to COVID-19 by ordering lunchboxes to boost their sales, and provides these lunchboxes to vulnerable groups who have difficulty eating due to the suspension of welfare facility operations.

In the first quarter of this year, SK Broadband supported about 13,000 lunchboxes for 180 elderly people living alone in Suwon-si, Gyeonggi Province. The Suwon-si Council on Social Welfare expressed satisfaction with the results that simultaneously addressed local food insecurity and increased sales for small business owners, and expressed willingness for continued collaboration.

Jo Young-ho, Head of SV Promotion at SK Broadband, said, “We are proud to continue the One Meal Sharing Ontact Project that realizes social value,” and added, “We plan to expand various collaborations with local governments and related organizations to support vulnerable groups in the future.”
