Emart Everyday announced on the 28th that it donated 24 million KRW to 119 Safety Centers nationwide and expressed gratitude for the hard work of firefighters.

The donated funds will be distributed to 48 119 Safety Centers across the country and are planned to be used for snacks during firefighters' shifts. Due to the nature of their duties, firefighters frequently respond to fire suppression, rescue, and emergency medical activities, resulting in a high demand for snacks during work.

The recipient centers were selected by the Korea Firefighters Association last month through the 'Thank you, Hero Snack Support Event' website, with cooperation from the National Fire Agency. After receiving applications from 119 Safety Centers nationwide, 48 centers were chosen through a random draw. The allocated funds will be used by each center's members to freely select and purchase their preferred snacks.

Kim Sung-young, CEO of Emart Everyday, said, "We hope our gratitude and support reach the firefighters who dedicate themselves to the safety of the public. We will continue to carry out various support activities that provide practical help to the heroes who silently devote themselves to protecting our society."
