Lotte Construction announced on the 24th that it has completed the environmental improvement of the free meal service center "Salgu Women’s Association Warm Meal House" located in Doksan-dong, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul, and held a donation plaque presentation ceremony attended by Lotte Construction CEO Ha Seok-ju and Geumcheon-gu Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon to commemorate the occasion.

Warm Meal House has been a free meal service center supporting free meals in the district for over 20 years since 1997, and carries out numerous welfare projects targeting vulnerable groups such as elderly living alone and low-income single-parent families.

Since 2012, Lotte Construction has been conducting Love House, a social contribution activity that leverages the characteristics of the construction industry to improve facilities. In particular, in Geumcheon-gu, volunteer activities have been steadily continued since 2015.

In the recent Love House volunteer activity, the interior including the kitchen, serving area, and dining space of the free meal center was completely renovated along with ventilation facilities, and the exterior was improved by repairing the signboard and entrance door to upgrade the aging facilities. Additionally, food ingredients and supplies were sponsored for the convenience of users.

A Lotte Construction official said, "We plan to continuously promote social contribution activities that utilize the characteristics of the construction industry," adding, "We hope this Love House will help the elderly who use the free meal center."

Meanwhile, the volunteer activity was carried out using funds prepared through the matching grant system. Lotte Construction has established the "Sharotte Volunteer Fund" through a 1:3 matching grant system, where the company donates three times the amount of donations that all employees contribute monthly back to society.
