The donation will be used to assist children and adolescents who require livelihood and medical support due to sudden crises, as well as to help underprivileged children who are at risk of skipping meals.

The Korean Red Cross plans to allocate 10 million won each to its "Emergency Support Program" for children and youth from crisis-affected families, and to the "Golden Lunchbox" program, which provides meal boxes to underprivileged children.

Since its establishment in 2004, Hankyu Hanshin Express Korea has continued to engage in social contribution activities every year, actively promoting coexistence with the local community.

In 2021, the company reached a cumulative donation of 100 million won to the Korean Red Cross alone, earning a place in the "Red Cross Honors Company 100 Million Won Club." In recognition of these efforts, it received the "Red Cross Distinguished Service Medal of Honor" in 2022.

Byun Jongsul, CEO of Hankyu Hanshin Express Korea, stated, "We decided to make this donation to support children facing difficulties amid the ongoing economic downturn," adding, "As corporate growth is built on the foundation of the local community, we will continue to fulfill our social responsibilities through our management practices."
