Daejeon Tourism Organization has practiced sharing for underprivileged groups by using airline mileage accumulated during overseas business trips by its executives and employees.

On the 10th, at the organization’s main conference room, in celebration of the Lunar New Year holiday and to share warmth with neighbors and help them enjoy a happy holiday, the organization delivered daily necessities and Kkumdori ramen to social welfare facilities such as Jacob's House and youth shelters.

The donated goods were prepared by using airline mileage accumulated over time during overseas business trips by executives and employees to purchase heated mats and daily necessities such as toothpaste and toothbrushes, and by adding 110 boxes of Kkumdori ramen prepared by the organization.

The goods will be delivered to a total of six institutions, including Jacob's House and youth shelters, through the Daejeon Volunteer Center, so that they can provide practical support.

Kim Yongwon, president of Daejeon Tourism Organization, said, "Our executives and employees pooled their hearts to prepare these items so that no neighbor has to spend this holiday alone," adding, "We will continue to fulfill the social responsibilities of a local public corporation by consistently returning the resources we have to the local community."
