18 million won in goods delivered to 450 households
Golfzon Cultural Foundation donated daily essentials worth 18 million won ($13,400) to 450 vulnerable households in Daejeon's Dong-gu district.
The foundation held its "2026 Golfzon Neighbor Love Happy Sharing" donation ceremony at the Dong-gu District Office on Monday, delivering kits containing ready-to-eat meals, banchan (Korean side dishes) and ramyun, the foundation announced Tuesday.
Attendees included Park Young-jun, a team leader at Golfzon Cultural Foundation; Dong-gu District Mayor Hwang In-ho; Park Shin-suk, director of the Daejeon Metropolitan City Volunteer Center; Gu Beom-rim, chairman of the Daejeon Dong-gu Volunteer Center; and Yoo Geun-suk, the center's director.
"Golfzon Neighbor Love Happy Sharing" is a corporate social responsibility project the foundation has run for six consecutive years since 2021. It draws on donations from Golfzon and contributions from group employees to provide daily essentials to vulnerable residents in local communities.
The foundation plans to deliver essentials worth 180 million won to about 4,300 households in total this year. Donation activities will continue next month in Jincheon-gun, North Chungcheong Province, and Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, followed by Jeju Island in December.
"We continue to provide the support needed so that vulnerable neighbors can receive practical help," foundation Chairman Kim Young-chan said. "We will keep carrying out social contribution activities that grow together with local communities."
