CJ Conducts 'Kimjang Sharing' at Over 2,400 Welfare Facilities
Kimjang Sharing at Regional Child Centers and Welfare Facilities Nationwide
CJ announced on the 27th that starting from the 28th, it will deliver a total of 85 tons of kimchi for kimjang to about 2,340 regional children's centers and about 70 welfare facilities nationwide during the winter season, and will conduct kimjang experience volunteer activities with children from the regional children's centers.
CJ's 'Kimjang Sharing' is a social contribution project that has been ongoing since 2007, and this year as well, CJ affiliates plan to deliver a total of 85 tons of kimchi for kimjang to about 2,400 regional children's centers and welfare facilities nationwide. The regional children's centers receiving the products were selected based on CJ's social contribution foundation CJ Sharing Foundation's online sharing platform, 'CJ Donors Camp.' Through CJ Donors Camp, where over 4,000 regional children's centers nationwide are registered members, the CJ Sharing Foundation carries out cultural and social contribution activities such as cultural education for vulnerable children and youth and community sharing activities.
In particular, this year, CJ has actively expanded the kimjang volunteer activities by CJ employees, which had been scaled down in recent years due to COVID-19. From the 16th of this month until the 8th of next month, about 10 regional children's centers, which are frequently used by children from multicultural families, were selected to provide an opportunity to experience kimjang, a traditional Korean food culture. Over about 10 sessions, approximately 300 children from regional children's centers and about 160 CJ employee volunteers will participate to share warm winter memories.
