In honor of the Month of National Defense, the food and restaurant industry has been actively expressing gratitude to military personnel and veterans through various charitable activities.
According to industry sources on June 25, Genesis BBQ visited the Baekma Unit in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, on June 24, delivering chicken sets to 50 exemplary soldiers. This initiative was inspired by a request from unit officials who wanted to encourage soldiers stationed at the front lines.
BBQ provided chicken sets consisting of golden olive chicken legs, cheese balls, and boneless chicken through its signature social contribution program, "Chicken Relay." The family of the Paju Heyri franchise also participated in the preparation and delivery, adding significance to the event.
A BBQ representative stated, "It is meaningful to convey a small token of support and gratitude to the soldiers who quietly carry out their duties for the safety of the nation. We will continue to implement various social contribution activities to spread warmth throughout our society."
Lotte Wellfood has also stepped up to support the welfare of soldiers at the front lines. On June 23, the company delivered 2,585 boxes of care packages valued at 200 million won, consisting of popular snacks like Castard, Margaret, and Gillian, to the Army's 17th Infantry Division, with which it has a partnership since 2018.
In commemoration of the 76th anniversary of the Korean War, Lotte Wellfood, in collaboration with the Korean Dental Association, conducted the "Doctor Xylitol Bus Campaign" at the Marine Corps 2nd Division's Judunso Post in Ganghwa County, Incheon. On June 24 and 25, medical personnel provided oral examinations and dental services to soldiers, while Lotte Wellfood offered snack packages featuring xylitol as mementos.
