[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-seop] The Credit Union Social Contribution Foundation will carry out the "Onsesang Sharing Campaign" for a month starting from the 14th, delivering heating supplies and daily necessities to energy-vulnerable groups.

This campaign began in 2015 to commemorate the 1st anniversary of the foundation's inaugural general meeting, when 195 credit unions nationwide distributed 550,000 briquettes. Until last year, a total of 30,000 volunteers delivered 130,000 heating supplies and 1,130,000 briquettes to 47,389 households.

This year, 668 credit unions will participate, about 200 more than last year. Approximately 18,000 households will receive 12,000 blankets, 5,600 electric mats, as well as Eobuba boxes filled with daily necessities and briquettes.

Kim Yoon-sik, chairman of the Credit Union Social Contribution Foundation, emphasized, "We will continue to carry out various social contribution activities for socially vulnerable groups."
