[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] The Korea Management Innovation Small and Medium Business Association (MainBiz Association) announced on the 1st that it held a lunchbox sharing activity and donation ceremony for elderly living alone at the ‘Cheonsa Free Meal Service’ located in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

This event was organized as part of the ‘Korea Companion Angel Corps’ campaign led by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, aiming to realize a happy Korea where everyone lives well together under the values of coexistence and sharing. The relay campaign is an event where the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and small business organizations practice coexistence and sharing for vulnerable and marginalized groups, running until the end of the year starting from the ‘7-day Companion Festival’.

On the day, Seok Yongchan, president of the MainBiz Association, who took the lead as the first volunteer for free meal distribution, along with executives and staff, personally distributed about 400 lunchboxes and delivered a donation of 2 million KRW to the Cheonsa Free Meal Service. President Seok said, “Our association is very honored to participate in the ‘Korea Companion Angel Corps’ campaign,” adding, “We feel rewarded to be able to serve a warm meal with the association and its executives and staff ahead of Chuseok.” He continued, “To ensure this activity does not end as a one-time event, our association will lead the practice of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management through volunteer activities with member companies and executives and staff.”

The MainBiz Association plans to hold the second free meal distribution volunteer activity and donation ceremony in Paju City on the 7th. The free meal distribution volunteer activities and donation ceremonies organized by the MainBiz Association will be held a total of 32 times over about four months from September to December this year, with businesspeople participating nationwide centered on MainBiz Association branches.

Meanwhile, the MainBiz Association continuously practices various sharing activities such as donations to the Community Chest of Korea, mask deliveries, and tuberculosis eradication fund contributions. In particular, in December last year, at the ‘2021 Small and Medium Business Management Innovation Conference,’ 94,311,000 KRW collected from member companies and executives and staff was donated to the Community Chest of Korea.
