Seven Eleven Launches Sharing Activities for Local Community Neighbors Ahead of Chuseok

The Seven Eleven employee volunteer group visited the Donu-dong jjokbangchon on the 16th and delivered sponsorship items for the elderly.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] Convenience store chain Seven Eleven announced on the 17th that, ahead of Chuseok, the children of franchise owners and employees came together to practice sharing for neighbors in the local community.

On the 16th, Seven Eleven delivered 300 sets of mask straps (necklaces) made together by the children of franchise owners and employee volunteer groups, along with snack gift sets, to two child welfare facilities (Cheongun Daycare Center and Eunpyeong Angel Center) for local children. About 140 franchise owners' children and Seven Eleven employees participated in this sharing activity.

Seven Eleven stated that due to difficulties in face-to-face activities caused by COVID-19, they prepared this non-face-to-face volunteer activity instead of the annual franchise owners' children camp. The children of Seven Eleven franchise owners and employees received mask strap kits at home and participated in the volunteer activity remotely.

Seven Eleven also delivered over 6,000 sponsorship items for elderly residents in five Seoul area jjokbang counseling centers (Namdaemun, Yeongdeungpo, Changsin-dong, Donui-dong, Seoul Station). The sponsorship items consisted of easy-to-eat foods such as instant soup, snacks, and health drinks for the elderly.

Choi Yoon-jung, head of Seven Eleven's Win-Win Cooperation Department, said, "Amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the Chuseok holiday, we conducted this volunteer activity for neighbors facing difficulties around us. It was especially meaningful as the children of franchise owners and employees participated together in the volunteer work."
