The company stated that KB Kookmin Card employees voluntarily participated in the volunteer activities. Over a three-week period, employees personally nurtured companion plants and prepared gratitude message cards and traditional holiday snacks, which were included in grocery kits and distributed to each region's center.

A representative from KB Kookmin Card said, "Following our support in May for Family Month and the provision of goods to help seniors cope with the summer heat in July, we hope to share the warmth of the holiday through the donation of companion plants and grocery kits this Chuseok. We plan to continue engaging in a variety of social contribution activities that provide practical assistance to vulnerable groups."

The 'Connecting Hearts with Vulnerable Seniors' project matches seniors in need of care with supporters to foster emotional connections and deliver aid packages. KB Kookmin Card has been collaborating with the centers since 2011, providing support to vulnerable seniors across the country for 15 consecutive years.

On Parents' Day, 184 employees from KB Kookmin Card's nationwide branches assembled carnation flower basket kits and delivered them along with groceries to seniors. During the heat wave in July, support items to help seniors stay cool in the summer were delivered to 380 seniors through welfare institutions affiliated with 20 regional centers nationwide.

KB Kookmin Card stated that it will continue to expand customized support for vulnerable groups during periods such as heat waves, cold snaps, holidays, and Family Month, leading the way in realizing warm, inclusive finance where customers and society can thrive together.
