This is a participatory volunteer activity where employees make kimchi themselves and deliver it to vulnerable groups. Kimchi was distributed to welfare centers and the social welfare corporation Anna's House across the country. This year, the Seoul Social Welfare Council co-planned the event, producing 23 tons (about 8,000 heads) of kimchi for 11 welfare centers and Anna's House locations nationwide. Last year, about 6,000 heads were made.

The event this year was attended by Manabu Konyama, CEO of Korea Toyota Motor Corporation, as well as Mitsuhiro Amo, General Manager overseeing East Asia and Oceania business at the Japanese headquarters, and Katsutoshi Takeda, Consul General of the Consulate General of Japan in Jeju. CEO Konyama said, "This event is a sincere social contribution activity to become a beloved company in the local community as one team with Toyota·Lexus dealers nationwide."
