CJ CheilJedang is continuing its efforts to promote a culture of sharing and coexistence by donating food to vulnerable communities in Jeonbuk for the Chuseok holiday.
On September 18, CJ CheilJedang announced that it is collaborating with the nonprofit organization 'Sharing Hope' to deliver daily food products to marginalized neighbors in the Jeonbuk region. Sharing Hope is a social welfare organization that supports children who are unable to pursue their dreams due to difficult home environments.
This donation marks the first support activity since CJ CheilJedang established a new partnership with Sharing Hope earlier this year. It was planned to provide practical assistance to neighbors facing challenges due to high prices and economic downturn ahead of the holiday.
The donated items include a variety of useful products for daily life, such as Bibigo beef soup, spicy beef soup, soybean paste soup, and oxtail soup, as well as cooked rice, rice porridge, sauces (ssamjang and gochujang), spam, and olive oil. These items will be distributed sequentially to vulnerable groups in Jeonbuk, including elderly individuals living alone, people with disabilities, and low-income families, through Sharing Hope and the 'Jeonbuk Good Love Sharing Community Volunteer Group.'
CJ CheilJedang plans to expand its support efforts beyond Jeonbuk to regions like Gyeongnam. In the future, it aims to utilize Sharing Hope's network of 30 partner organizations nationwide to continue expanding its food donation initiatives for vulnerable populations.
A representative from CJ CheilJedang stated, "In celebration of Chuseok, we prepared substantial food items to help our local neighbors have a warm holiday. We will continue to support marginalized communities while fostering coexistence with the local society."
