[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Nongshim announced on the 24th that it held the 2022 Emergency Food Pack Project Kickoff Ceremony with the Korea National Council on Social Welfare Food Bank at the Food Bank Market in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul on the 23rd.

The Emergency Food Pack project provides ready-to-eat food to vulnerable groups who are in disaster or emergency situations requiring support or who fall into blind spots of the public support system. Nongshim has participated in the Emergency Food Pack project since 2020, and since last year, Nongshim has been solely supporting the project. At the kickoff ceremony, Nongshim pledged to donate 10,000 food packs consisting of ramen such as Shin Ramyun, Neoguri, and Ansungtangmyun, as well as Baeksansu water and Tulip Ham.

Of the 10,000 food packs donated by Nongshim, 5,000 sets will be delivered to marginalized groups in welfare blind spots, and the remaining 5,000 sets will be used for emergency support in case of disasters or emergencies requiring urgent assistance.

A Nongshim official said, "We are pleased to participate in this meaningful project to help neighbors in difficult situations," adding, "We will continue to actively engage in activities that share warm love by looking after marginalized groups."

On the 16th, Nongshim also supported 1,250 Emergency Food Packs containing seven types of cup ramen such as Shin Ramyun Cup and Yukgaejang Bowl Noodles, as well as Baeksansu water, to the wildfire-affected areas in Yeongdeok, Gyeongbuk. The food packs were delivered to evacuees staying at shelters and firefighters participating in recovery efforts.
