CJ CheilJedang(097950) said on the 26th it will provide emergency relief supplies to residents of Geoje and Tongyeong in South Gyeongsang Province who suffered flood damage from heavy downpours.
The relief items are more than 3,000 servings of home meal replacements (HMR) and snacks, including Hetbahn, Hetbahn Sotban, Bibigo soup dishes, Spam, and Matbam. Considering the flood sites where it is difficult to use cooking facilities, the package focuses on products that can be eaten immediately. The items will be delivered to the relevant local governments after consultations with the National Disaster Relief Association.
CJ CheilJedang formed an "Emergency Disaster Relief Council" in May 2019 with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the National Disaster Relief Association, and has provided relief supplies whenever disasters such as East Coast wildfires and heavy-rain flooding have occurred.
A CJ CheilJedang official said, "We extend our deepest condolences to those who suffered great damage from the sudden heavy rains," and added, "We hope this helps the affected areas recover quickly and return to daily life."
