[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] The LG Innotek Labor Union announced on the 12th that it has launched support worth 21 million won, including donations of home appliances and group food orders, targeting small restaurants near workplaces in Gumi, Gwangju, and Pyeongtaek.

This event is conducted by the LG Innotek Labor Union as part of its 'Union Social Responsibility (USR).' It was prepared to support small business owners who are going through difficult times due to decreased sales caused by COVID-19.

The union selected 13 small restaurants experiencing business difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic as support targets. After placing group orders for food from these restaurants, the meals will be donated to local nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and welfare centers.

The LG Innotek Labor Union Pyeongtaek branch recently ordered 90 servings of food and delivered them to the Gyeonggi Southern Veterans Affairs Office and Osan Korean Hospital. The Gwangju branch donated air conditioners to restaurants struggling with store operations.

The union plans to continue supporting home appliances and group order events at workplaces nationwide until the end of this year. The group-ordered food will be delivered to about 1,000 vulnerable people through the Gumi General Social Welfare Center and Gwangju Notre Dame Brothers' House.

Kim Dong-ui, chairman of the LG Innotek Labor Union, said, "We organized this event with a sincere heart to support local small business owners who are struggling due to COVID-19," adding, "We will continue to fulfill the union's social responsibility and carry out activities for the local community."
