Kookmin Bank, 3rd Small Business Support Project... Simultaneous Support for Vulnerable Children

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi]KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 29th that it will implement support measures for small business owners struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and for frontline personnel at COVID-19 screening clinics as the year-end approaches.

First, KB Kookmin Bank will additionally carry out the Two-gether Small Business Support Project, which simultaneously supports small business owners and children from vulnerable groups. The Two-gether Small Business Support Project is a social contribution activity by KB Kookmin Bank in collaboration with the nonprofit organization Good Neighbors International, where semi-prepared meal kits and bread are collectively purchased from small business-operated restaurants and delivered to households with vulnerable children.

Following support in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul in August and Cheongju in October, this third round of support will target small business owners and vulnerable children’s households in Suwon and Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province. Approximately 500 million KRW worth of rice, side dishes, and winter supplies will be purchased from traditional markets, and the purchased items will be packed into Two-gether gift boxes and safely delivered to about 1,600 vulnerable children’s households.

Additionally, KB Kookmin Bank plans to send support supplies to medical staff and personnel at screening clinics who are overwhelmed due to the surge in COVID-19 cases, expressing gratitude and encouragement. The support supplies, consisting of heat packs and oral disinfectants to help endure the winter cold, will be delivered to about 400 screening clinics nationwide.

A KB Kookmin Bank official stated, “We have prepared year-end social contribution activities to support everyone going through difficult times due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and to express our gratitude to the medical staff and personnel working hard at screening clinics in the cold weather,” adding, “We will continue to strive so that everyone can have a warm year-end and New Year through sharing activities that change the world.”
