[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongdong-gu District Office (Mayor Jeong Won-oh) signed a business agreement on the 22nd with the Public Communication Institute and Yogiyo to support children at risk of food insecurity through the "Various One Meal" campaign.

"Various One Meal" is a project newly launched in Seongdong-gu, aiming to alleviate the relative deprivation of children at risk of food insecurity through a virtuous cycle of community donation culture.

At the agreement ceremony, representatives from Seongdong-gu, Woidaehan Sang-sang Co., Ltd. (CEO Seo Seong-won), which operates the Yogiyo delivery app, the Public Communication Institute (Director Lee Jong-hyuk), and the Seongdong-gu Volunteer Center (Chairman Bae Moon-chan) attended and pledged mutual cooperation to promote the campaign. Following the ceremony, eight local companies in Seongdong-gu donated the first contribution for "Various One Meal," totaling approximately 12 million KRW annually.

The "Various One Meal" project, set to be fully launched in January next year, will support about 300 children at risk of food insecurity who use local children's centers in Seongdong-gu. Meal coupons funded by donations from local companies will be provided to the children's centers, and using the Yogiyo delivery app, children can choose their preferred food and meal times to place orders.

Companies wishing to participate in the campaign donations can contact the Seongdong-gu Volunteer Center, and a separate promotional page for participating companies will also be prepared within the Yogiyo app.

Jeong Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, "This is a meaningful attempt to realize an idea to provide diverse meals to vulnerable children through public-private cooperation," adding, "We will monitor the children's responses and strive to establish this as a steady project, expanding the support targets in the future."
