The kimchi for kimjang donated by Nongshim will be delivered to the homes of elderly people living alone in the jurisdiction through the Dongjak Senior Welfare Center, and the briquettes will be distributed to energy-poor households in the Sangdo-dong area of Dongjak-gu.

Nongshim began donating briquettes for the local community in 2009. The kimchi donation has been ongoing annually since 2018. The total briquettes delivered by Nongshim so far amount to 37,000 pieces, and the kimchi for kimjang totals 8,090 kg (about 3,360 heads).

The kimchi for kimjang and briquettes delivered by Nongshim were funded through the 'Happy Fund' collected together by Nongshim and its employees. The Happy Fund, which finances Nongshim's social contribution activities, operates on a 'matching grant' basis, where the company adds sponsorship funds equal to the amount voluntarily donated by employees.

A Nongshim official said, "We hope that the love conveyed by Nongshim will help even a little in getting through the cold winter," and added, "We will continue to carry out various activities that can help the underprivileged in the local community."
