Daesung Energy Donates 3 Million Won to Ssokbang Residents Suffering from Heatwave

Daesung Energy (CEO Yoon Hong-sik) visited the Daegu Homeless Counseling Center "House of Sharing Happiness" located on Seoseong-ro, Jung-gu, Daegu on the 18th and donated 3 million KRW in sponsorship funds for the 2023 Campaign to Overcome the Summer Heat in Homeless Shelters.

The sponsorship funds will be used for projects to help homeless shelter residents in the Daegu area overcome the intense heat and tropical nights forecasted following the rainy season.

Employees of Daesung Energy who participated in the event visited the homeless shelter area in person, delivering prepared sponsorship items such as summer blankets and ramen, checking on the residents’ well-being and health status, and providing welfare information as part of their home-visit volunteer activities in the homeless shelter community.

In the Daegu area, about 600 homeless shelter residents still live in poor conditions in small spaces ranging from 3 to 6 square meters with almost no heating or cooling facilities. They are vulnerable to cold and heat due to old age, disabilities, and chronic illnesses.

Jo Won-ik, team leader at Daesung Energy, said, “Although I had often heard that homeless shelters are vulnerable to heatwaves, seeing it firsthand was even more severe than I expected. I hope this helps the shelter residents stay healthier and overcome this summer’s heat.”

As a local company, Daesung Energy has been actively participating in volunteer activities such as sharing side dishes, the Homeless Shelter Coexistence Project, and the Love Kimchi Sharing Volunteer Activity with the Daegu Homeless Counseling Center for over 20 years, leading ESG management efforts to create a warm local community.
