[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] KFC announced on the 16th that it donated 50 servings of snacks, including chicken, to Seongwoo Orphanage in Daejeon.

On the 13th, KFC made a snack donation together with office worker Kim Yumin, who recently became a hot topic on online communities for a heartwarming story of purchasing 220 pieces of chicken using money earned from a delivery part-time job and gifting them as snacks for children at the orphanage. On that day, KFC provided various menu items such as burgers, chicken, sides, and drinks from the nearby ‘KFC Daejeon City Hall Station Branch’ and delivered them to the children at Seongwoo Orphanage along with Kim.

Kim Ikja, director of Seongwoo Orphanage, who attended the donation event, said, “Thanks to the generous provision of foods that the children like, everyone had a happy evening.”

Kim said, “I am honored to participate in this meaningful event as my unexpected story became known.”

Meanwhile, as part of its recent social contribution events, KFC has been supporting snacks to places such as Seoul National University Children’s Hospital and Catholic University Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital Emergency Medical Center by receiving stories from customers through its official SNS channels about places they want to send encouragement and gratitude to.
