Woori Card delivered holiday food and daily necessities to 100 vulnerable elderly households in Changsin 2-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, ahead of the chuseok holiday.

The company held a "happiness package" delivery ceremony Tuesday at the Changsin 2-dong Community Center, where it has maintained a "one company, one neighborhood" partnership. Woori Card Executive Vice President Lee In-bok and Changsin 2-dong Community Center Director Oh Yeon-hee attended the event, the company announced Wednesday.

Each package contained easy-to-prepare food items — including pre-cooked rice, ramyun, instant soup sets and kimchi stir-fry — along with daily necessities such as toothbrushes and lotion.

The "one company, one neighborhood" initiative is a community welfare project run by Jongno-gu. Under the program, local businesses and organizations partner with neighborhood community centers to support low-income residents through living expense subsidies, food and daily necessities, and employee volunteer activities tailored to each neighborhood's needs.

Since forming its partnership with Changsin 2-dong in December 2018, Woori Card has continued outreach activities for vulnerable residents in the area during key periods including Family Month, major holidays and year-end.

"We hope this brings a small measure of warmth to the local elderly residents during the holiday season," a Woori Card official said. "We will continue to look out for those in need in our community and carry out activities that provide meaningful, practical support."
