Gas Corporation Provides Emergency Clothing and Food Supplies to 4,500 Residents of Squalid Rooms in 5 Major Cities

Korea Gas Corporation (President Choi Yeon-hye) announced on the 9th that it has implemented emergency support for residents living in jjokbangchon, who are in the blind spots of energy welfare, in preparation for the severe cold season.

Starting from November, when the cold season begins in earnest, the Gas Corporation surveyed the necessary items in advance to provide practical help to residents of jjokbangchon. They produced the ‘Severe Cold Season Onnuri Sharing Box,’ which includes essential food items and winter functional clothing, and from November 18 to the 4th of this month, distributed these items to over 4,500 residents of jjokbangchon through jjokbang counseling centers in five regions: Seoul, Incheon, Daejeon, Daegu, and Busan.

The Gas Corporation contributed to increasing sales and creating jobs for social economy enterprises by using 100% of the products from social economy enterprises in each region to produce the Onnuri Sharing Boxes.

A representative of the Gas Corporation said, “We hope today’s sharing will be a small help to neighbors in need during the cold winter,” and added, “Going forward, Korea Gas Corporation will continue to be a reliable energy public enterprise that delivers warmth to neighbors in need.”

Meanwhile, in June, when an early heatwave was rampant, the Gas Corporation also supported the ‘Severe Heat Season Onnuri Sharing Box’ and operated a heatwave monitoring team to carefully ensure the safety of jjokbangchon residents during the heatwave period.
