Busan Port Authority (BPA) opened the 13th branch of the ‘BPA Hope Pantry’ at the Busan Nam-gu Comprehensive Social Welfare Center on the 26th.


BPA is carrying out the Hope Pantry social contribution project as part of its first social contribution strategy, ‘Happiness Sea Love Sharing,’ to strengthen local participation and jointly solve regional issues.


The 13th BPA Hope Pantry branch is operated by the Busan Nam-gu Comprehensive Social Welfare Center. It is open every Wednesday from 2 PM to 6 PM (excluding lunch break from 12 PM to 1 PM). The users are local residents in Nam-gu who require care, selected by the welfare center.


The Hope Pantry not only provides food donations but also conducts various linked programs.


The Nam-gu Comprehensive Social Welfare Center plans to create synergy by linking the BPA Hope Pantry with the ‘Customized Elderly Care Service.’


The Customized Elderly Care Service is a program that provides tailored care services such as safety checks, social participation, and service linkage for elderly people who have difficulty with daily living.


BPA plans to hold an ‘Invitation Event to the Busan Port Healing Camping Ground Linked with Traditional Markets’ for Hope Pantry operating organizations and donors in early November.
