[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon]Genesis BBQ announced on the 6th that its university student volunteer group ‘Oliver Us’ delivered a total of 60 chickens to child care facilities and independent living centers located in Gangnam-gu and Gwanak-gu on the 4th.

BBQ distributed chicken to ‘Gangnam Dreamville’ in Gangnam-gu and ‘Sangnok Boyukwon’ in Gwanak-gu.

Oliver Us is a compound word of ‘Olive,’ representing BBQ’s symbol golden olive oil, and ‘Us,’ meaning ‘together with BBQ,’ conveying the meaning of ‘becoming one with BBQ’ and the purpose of ‘sharing love and warmth with society together.’ This activity is part of Oliver Us’s seasonal sharing activities conducted every season.

Bu Cheongha, director of Sangnok Boyukwon, said, “Amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, overall volunteering and donations have decreased, so we are very happy to receive chicken, which the children usually prefer the most,” adding, “This chicken support will bring great joy and memorable experiences to the children during this unusually cold winter.”

Meanwhile, BBQ demonstrates its commitment to social contribution through the ‘Chicken Relay’ activity, where the headquarters supplies fresh meat and the family branches cook the chicken to donate to socially vulnerable groups and those in need within the community. Since 2017, families from a total of 130 stores have regularly participated, donating about 30,000 chickens, which amounts to approximately 540 million KRW in value.
