The main figures are Sim Sang-baek, the franchise owner of 7-Eleven Gangneung Gotgam Branch, and Im Heung-sook, the franchise owner of 7-Eleven Soraenaru Branch. They expressed their support for the purpose of operating the Donghaeng Store and pledged to participate in the sponsorship by generously donating 10 million KRW. The donation will be used to purchase various supplies necessary for operating the Donghaeng Store's 'Warmth Warehouse.'

The donation event by 7-Eleven franchise owners was held on the afternoon of the 8th at the Donghaeng Store Warmth Warehouse in the Seoul Station Ggokbang Counseling Center. About 20 people attended the event, including franchise owners Sim Sang-baek and Im Heung-sook, members of the 7-Eleven Franchise Owners Volunteer Group, Lee Woo-sik, head of 7-Eleven Operations Headquarters, and other headquarters executives and employees.

To support the franchise owners' sharing activities, 7-Eleven separately prepared refreshing beverages and snacks to share with the residents of the Ggokbang village who visited the Donghaeng Store that day.

Meanwhile, 7-Eleven is the first case of the Seoul Metropolitan Government conducting a companionship project for Ggokbang villages in collaboration with the distribution industry. 7-Eleven plans to continue sponsorship for three years, providing goods worth about 10 million KRW monthly for the operation of the Donghaeng Store.

Im Heung-sook, the franchise owner of 7-Eleven Soraenaru Branch who generously donated this time, said, "During this unusually hot summer, I wanted to express a small heart so that marginalized neighbors could spend a healthy season." Franchise owner Sim Sang-baek also said, "I am glad to participate in such a warm-hearted sharing activity, and I will continue to pay attention to my surroundings to deliver necessary help at the right place and time."
