[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Shinhan Bank announced on the 6th that it has delivered the 'Shinhan Donghaeng Meal Box' to the Korean Red Cross to prevent children from skipping meals during the vacation period as part of the Donghaeng Project.

Shinhan Bank, which started its first Donghaeng Project in May by supporting vehicles and fuel costs for child abuse shelters nationwide, is supporting meal boxes for children at risk of skipping meals during the vacation period as its second Donghaeng Project.

Through the Korean Red Cross, Shinhan Bank will provide the Shinhan Donghaeng Meal Boxes every two weeks from this month to August, a total of four times, to 250 families in Seoul and Incheon areas, including single-parent and grandparent-headed households, who are at risk of meal skipping due to care gaps during the vacation period.

The Shinhan Donghaeng Meal Box consists of convenience foods, nutritional supplements, and snacks. Support will be provided not only during this summer vacation but also during the winter vacation. Shinhan Bank plans to continue its efforts to prevent children from skipping meals during vacation periods through the Shinhan Donghaeng Meal Box for the next three years.

Jin Ok-dong, the bank president, said, "As the time spent at home has increased due to COVID-19 and concerns about children skipping meals during the vacation period arise, I hope children can live happily and healthily without missing meals." He added, "Shinhan Bank will continue to carry out sincere social contributions through the Donghaeng Project."
