Woori Financial Group Establishes 'Goodwill Store Milal Namguro Branch'

36 Goodwill Stores Nationwide
Approximately 450 People with Developmental Disabilities Employed

Woori Financial Group's Woori Financial Future Foundation, in collaboration with the Milal Welfare Foundation, has established the 'Goodwill Store Milal Namguro Branch' in Guro-gu, Seoul to create jobs for people with developmental disabilities.

The 'Goodwill Store' is a workplace for people with disabilities that employs individuals with developmental disabilities using the profits generated from selling items donated by companies and individuals. Currently, 36 Goodwill Store locations operate nationwide, where approximately 450 people with developmental disabilities are nurturing their dreams of independence.

In December 2022, Woori Financial agreed to jointly promote the 'Developmental Disabilities Job Ecosystem Construction Project' in cooperation with the Milal Welfare Foundation. Through this project, they plan to support 30 billion KRW over 10 years to establish Goodwill Store locations and provide stable jobs for 1,500 people with disabilities.

Starting with the 'Milal Geumcheon Branch' in October 2023, six stores were opened in 2024, including in Gwangju. The newly opened 'Milal Namguro Branch' is the eighth store, and five additional stores will be launched this year.

A Woori Financial representative stated, "This year as well, we will continue to build Goodwill Stores across the country and make greater efforts to establish a stable job ecosystem for people with developmental disabilities."

Meanwhile, detailed information about the 'Goodwill Store Milal Namguro Branch' and how to donate items can be found on the Goodwill Store website.
