BPA is carrying out a project to install sharing refrigerators near Busan Port, where local residents can donate food ingredients and those in need can take them for free, with budget support from the Public Coexistence Solidarity Fund Foundation (Chairman Lee Byung-hoon).

The Sahasarang Sharing Food Market (Dadaero, Saha-gu, Busan), where the second BPA Hope Pantry is installed, is a permanent space designed to promote donations of food and daily necessities as a donation provision site, allowing people facing difficulties to visit the food market and select donated items themselves.

Donated food and other items are provided free of charge to those selected as beneficiaries by the Saha District Office, including emergency support recipients, lower-income groups, low-income families, and basic livelihood security recipients.

Approximately 750 vulnerable local residents use the market every month. The BPA Hope Pantry operates under the same criteria.

The Sahasarang Sharing Food Market operates from Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, said, “Following the first branch, we were able to successfully open the second branch with great help from the Public Coexistence Solidarity Fund and Dosong Comprehensive Social Welfare Center. Our authority will continue to collaborate with local welfare centers through the Hope Pantry to assist vulnerable groups facing difficulties and strive to coexist with the local community.”
