GS25, a convenience store operated by GS Retail, announced on the 5th that it has started a donation campaign to provide cold-weather supplies to socially marginalized groups. Beginning with a pre-donation of 2,500 hot packs by the end of September, the company plans to continue a donation relay delivering cold-weather supplies to socially marginalized groups nationwide until the end of the year.

On the 4th, GS25 marked the start of the cold-weather supplies donation relay by delivering a total of 2,000 hot packs?1,000 each?to the international relief and development NGO World Vision and the social welfare corporation Anna’s House.

GS25 employees participated in the donation event, personally handing over the prepared hot packs and engaging in sharing activities. Discussions were also held regarding practical support projects for socially marginalized groups.

There is also a planned activity to support vulnerable groups in Busan with cold-weather supplies. As part of a business agreement signed with Busan City in June, GS25 plans to complete a donation activity delivering 500 hot packs in cooperation with the Busan Comprehensive Social Welfare Center of the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation in Busan before the upcoming Chuseok holiday.

Meanwhile, GS25 operates over 17,000 offline stores nationwide, serving as a local community safety net. In particular, it has taken the lead in supporting disaster and emergency sites and helping socially marginalized groups nationwide, donating and supporting more than 40,000 convenience store items this year alone.

Lee Jeong-pyo, head of the Platform Marketing Division at GS Retail, said, “We aim to play a pioneering role in activating a culture of sharing during the year-end and New Year holidays by quickly launching winter donation activities. We will become a convenience store that firmly fulfills its role as a local community safety net.”
