[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Junhyung] Home appliance company Cuckoo announced on the 4th that it delivered electric rice cookers to 700 vulnerable households in Siheung-si, Gyeonggi Province, who are experiencing economic difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.


Cuckoo held the delivery ceremony at the Cuckoo Homesys plant located in Siheung, Gyeonggi Province. The ceremony was attended by Koo Bonhak, CEO of Cuckoo Homesys, Lim Byungtaek, Mayor of Siheung, and Sung Nakheon, Chairman of the Siheung 1% Welfare Foundation.


This delivery ceremony was planned as part of the 'Cuckoo Support Project for the Underprivileged,' which the Cuckoo Social Welfare Foundation has been steadily conducting since 2007. Cuckoo expressed its intention to take the lead in solving local issues together with Siheung-si, where the Cuckoo Homesys plant is located.


A Cuckoo representative said, "We delivered rice cookers to provide a small support to neighbors who are going through difficult times amid the COVID-19 pandemic," adding, "As the phased recovery of daily life begins this month, we will actively practice sharing for low-income neighbors."
