In Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and Busanjin-gu, Busan, holiday food packages consisting of rice cake soup rice cakes, jeon (Korean pancakes), fruits, and more were delivered to grandparent-grandchild families, people with disabilities, and elderly living alone. In Yongsan-gu, multicultural families were provided with food kits containing ingredients such as flour, cooking oil, and sesame oil. The items were selected based on preference surveys for each target group and purchased from traditional markets in the respective areas to revitalize local businesses.

Kim Young-san, CEO of GKL, said, "This was prepared to deliver warm affection to marginalized and struggling neighbors ahead of the holiday," adding, "We will continue to work to realize various social values by being with marginalized neighbors."
