Financial firms step up Chuseok sharing drives, expand community outreach
Financial companies in South Korea are stepping up social contribution activities ahead of the Chuseok holiday, ranging from purchases to support traditional markets to aid for vulnerable groups and employee-led volunteering. The Financial Supervisory Service joined four firms and the Salvation Army for a market event in Seoul. Major banks and financial groups ran nationwide programs delivering goods and vouchers to welfare facilities, low-income households, seniors living alone, multicultural families and patients.
