Headquarters staff members are directly reaching out to vulnerable groups in society through a variety of volunteer activities, including fire extinguisher safety inspections in the Seoul Station shantytown, cleaning the homes of elderly people with limited mobility, gardening with people with developmental disabilities, and serving free meals to the homeless. In the 15 regional offices, employees are participating by purchasing goods at local traditional markets and donating them to welfare organizations as part of a sharing initiative.


This volunteer program has been designed not as a one-time event, but as a sustainable initiative to support the local economy and improve livelihoods. After volunteering, employees spend time communicating with each other by visiting traditional markets or nearby restaurants, thereby linking the organization's internal communication activities with the government's campaign to restore the people's economy.



Kim Ki-moon, Chairman of the Korea Federation of Small and Medium Business, stated, "I hope this volunteer activity will serve as a foundation for the recovery of the people's economy, going beyond simple acts of sharing."
