[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] Korean Air announced on the 22nd that it donated over 270 hot packs and covers to the Seoul Metropolitan City Donuidong Shelter Counseling Center.

This activity is part of the 'In-flight Blanket Upcycling' volunteer project, where employees create hot pack covers using in-flight blankets that are no longer suitable for reuse and deliver them to neighbors in need.

From November 28 to December 9, over 200 employees who were unable to participate in face-to-face volunteer activities during the COVID-19 period took part, sewing more than 270 hot pack covers themselves. The project was conducted by distributing hot pack cover DIY kits, which participants completed according to the instructions and submitted the finished products.

The donated hot packs and covers will be delivered to elderly living alone and vulnerable groups residing in Jongno-gu.
