Last year, Lotte Mart prepared for the event by collecting amounts under 1,000 won from employees' salaries and adding company contributions, raising a total of 60.62 million won. They also invited Chef Yeo Kyung-rae, who appeared on the 'Black and White Chef' program, to provide various Chinese dishes that children enjoy, such as Jajangmyeon and Tangsuyuk. Additionally, they delivered private brand (PB) snacks and meal kits worth about 10 million won, including 'Today’s Good Protein Bar' and 'Cooking Meat Jajang'.

Lotte Mart also selected 30 child welfare centers in the Seoul area and supported each center with 1 million won in cultural gift certificates. This is expected to help children from vulnerable groups easily watch movies and purchase books. Furthermore, from the 22nd of this month to the 30th of next month, free oral health education provided by dental specialists will be held at 13 Lotte Mart stores, including the Songpa branch.

Jin Joo-tae, Head of Compliance Support Division at Lotte Mart and Super, said, "We will continue to carry out various social contribution projects that can support children, the future dream trees."
