Nongshim announced it will urgently provide 1,200 'emergency food packs' to areas in Gyeongnam affected by extreme rainfall.
The emergency food packs consist of instant noodles and bottled water, designed for immediate consumption in disaster situations. The supplies will be distributed to evacuees staying in shelters, as well as firefighters and volunteers involved in recovery efforts.
A Nongshim representative stated, "We decided to provide this support to help those suffering from the impacts of the extreme rainfall."
The emergency food pack initiative is part of Nongshim's social contribution program, aimed at providing food to vulnerable groups in need of urgent assistance during disasters or those overlooked by public support systems. The program has been ongoing since 2020.
In February, Nongshim held a launch ceremony for the emergency food pack initiative at its headquarters in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, committing to provide relief supplies worth 300 million won this year. Last year, the company distributed a total of 18,000 emergency food packs.
Earlier, extreme rainfall during the Liberation Day holiday caused casualties and damage in areas such as Geoje and Tongyeong. According to the Gyeongnam Disaster Safety Headquarters, one person died and three were injured due to the heavy rain on August 17, and 498 residents were evacuated.
