[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Seven Eleven announced on the 26th that it conducted a donation of supplies to help residents of jjokbangchon (small room villages) have a healthy summer in celebration of Jungbok.

Seven Eleven delivered summer supplies worth about 10 million KRW, including lunch boxes, watermelons, and beverages, purchased using employee donations through five jjokbang counseling centers in Seoul, including Donuideong and Namdaemun.

Seven Eleven's sharing volunteer service for jjokbangchon began in 2013 and has continued for about 10 years this year as a representative social contribution activity. Every year, it supports various supplies to provide practical help to neighbors in need during critical times, continuing this tradition.

A Seven Eleven official said, "Due to the recent continuous hot weather, we carried out this sharing activity to help neighbors going through difficult times in harsh environments," adding, "We will continue to extend helping hands where needed and strive to live together with more neighbors."
