[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] JT Chin-ae Savings Bank announced on the 25th that it has donated funds to elderly people living alone in the local community in celebration of its 8th anniversary.
The donation was given to the Dail Welfare Foundation. The Dail Welfare Foundation is a social welfare corporation that runs the free meal service project called the ‘Bapper Sharing Movement’ for vulnerable groups such as elderly people without family support and homeless individuals. JT Chin-ae Savings Bank has maintained its relationship with the foundation for the fifth year this year since it began volunteering for free meal services at the end of 2013.
The donation will be used to prepare holiday meal lunchboxes and purchase gifts such as food kits, masks, and hand sanitizers to be delivered to about 1,000 elderly people living alone and vulnerable groups on the 29th. Notably, these lunchboxes will be made using ingredients purchased from small business owners who are facing economic difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, making this effort meaningful in contributing to the stabilization of small business owners’ livelihoods and revitalization of the local economy.
Park Yoon-ho, CEO of JT Chin-ae Savings Bank, said, “Thanks to the continuous interest and love from our customers, JT Chin-ae Savings Bank has been able to establish itself as a representative financial institution for ordinary people. Ahead of Chuseok, we have undertaken this activity to give back, even in a small way, to the support of the local community. We will continue to strive to fulfill our social responsibilities as a financial institution for ordinary people through various social contribution activities.”
