[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] SPC Group announced on the 19th that it has provided Happy Point worth 50 million KRW to children at risk of food insecurity during the summer vacation.

The ‘Happy Point Support Project,’ conducted by SPC Group in collaboration with the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, is a social contribution program that supports children at risk of food insecurity during school vacation seasons without school meals by providing Happy Point, which can be used like cash at over 7,000 SPC Group affiliated stores nationwide including Paris Baguette, Baskin Robbins, Dunkin, Pascucci, and Bizeun. Since 2017, the program has been carried out 12 times during each vacation, supporting a total of 11,000 children at risk of food insecurity across Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Gangwon, Gyeongsang, Jeolla, and Chungcheong regions with Happy Point worth approximately 550 million KRW.

This year, Happy Point prepaid cards were delivered to 320 children from low-income families and 60 child welfare facilities in the Gangwon region, which has been particularly affected by large-scale wildfires.

Park Subong, head of the Seoul 3 Regional Headquarters of the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, said, “The Happy Point card, which can be used at various places, will greatly help children spend their vacation without worrying about meals,” adding, “We will actively support children to overcome difficult times and grow up healthy.”

An SPC Group official said, “We hope that through Happy Point support, children in welfare blind spots can have a healthy vacation,” and added, “SPC Group will continue to carry out social contribution activities to help vulnerable groups based on the philosophy that sharing is the mission of a company.”
