The 7th Haebaragi Volunteer Group visited Naegok Farm located in Seocho-gu, Seoul on the 15th to support the farm. The volunteer activity was conducted in collaboration with the Seoul Agricultural Technology Center and was planned to understand the social issue of labor shortages in rural areas due to the aging farming population, while also alleviating the burden on farms.

On that day, the volunteer members carried out activities such as organizing flowerpots, removing weeds, tending flowers, and carrying fertilizers and manure. They also helped with preparatory work for commercialization by filling flowerpots with fertilizer and manure, and finished the activity by cleaning up the surrounding area.

Volunteer member Lee Seoyeon, who participated in the service, said, “Having grown up in the city, it was difficult to fully grasp the reality of labor shortages on farms, but through this activity, I hope this reality becomes widely known and that practical helping hands to farms will increase.”

A bhc Group representative stated, “As a comprehensive food service company, bhc Group strives to give back the interest and love received from diverse customers of all ages to the local community through sharing activities for marginalized groups,” adding, “We will continue to expand social contribution activities within the group, such as the volunteer group and CSR campaigns, to ensure that positive influence spreads continuously.”

Meanwhile, the Haebaragi Volunteer Group is a university student youth volunteer organization that carries out sharing activities throughout local communities. Since its founding of the 1st group in 2017, it has been continuously operated as bhc Group’s representative volunteer organization. Every year, selected university students plan and carry out 12 volunteer activities annually.
