Nanum Vitamin, a social venture for meal support, along with the Gwanak District Office, Bongcheon Jeil Comprehensive Market, and the Seoul Credit Guarantee Foundation Gwanak Branch, conducted a support program for the traditional market grocery shopping event during the Chuseok holiday.
The target of this two-day event, held from September 26th to 27th, was households in Gwanak District with children's meal cards. Coordinating with the Gwanak District Office's project budget, approximately 120 children received grocery shopping coupons worth 12,000 won per person through the 'Nabi Yam' application or at the site. The coupons were used at Bongcheon Jeil Comprehensive Market, and the Seoul Credit Guarantee Foundation Gwanak Branch supported the project costs by providing eco-friendly bags.
This support program for the pre-Chuseok grocery shopping event is the first collaborative project conducted by Nanum Vitamin and the Bongcheon Jeil Comprehensive Market Merchants Association, which signed an MOU in August. Amid the difficulty of meeting traditional markets these days, the event received an enthusiastic response and concluded successfully in just two days, allowing the children to experience vitality and warmth in the market, choose items themselves, and receive practical lessons in economic education through the coupon system
Representative Park Jeong-seok of the Bongcheon Jeil Comprehensive Market Merchants Association stated, "The market merchants actively participated for the children. I am pleased that the children enjoyed various and healthy market foods and had a warm holiday experience at the market, which preserves our culture and tradition."
Director Park Eun-ji of Nanum Vitamin mentioned, "The pre-Chuseok grocery shopping program was the first collaboration project with the Gwanak District Office after officially signing a business agreement with the Bongcheon Jeil Comprehensive Market. It was a meaningful opportunity to directly witness the smiles of the children. We will continue to collaborate with local governments and organizations to strive for warm and hearty meals for children."
