The donation was prepared by collecting about 10 million KRW from Lotte Wellfood employees this year, with the company matching the same amount. The funds will be used for treatment costs and social development program support for children diagnosed with pediatric cancer and rare incurable diseases.

Lotte Wellfood's Love Sharing Spare Change Collection Campaign has been carried out voluntarily by employees since August 2016. Employees voluntarily save spare change under 1,000 KRW from their monthly salaries to contribute to the fund as an act of neighborly love. The company matches the same amount to raise the fund through a matching grant system. The accumulated donations have reached 120 million KRW so far. These funds have been donated annually at the end of the year to support the treatment costs of a total of 12 pediatric cancer patients.

A Lotte Wellfood official said, "We will continue various activities to share with more neighbors in the future."
