● S-OIL CEO Al-Qahtani delivered Chuseok gift packages to 900 low-income households in Mapo.
S-OIL (CEO Hussain A Al-Qahtani) held a charity event “Sharing Songpyeon with S-OIL” at the Seongsan Social Welfare Center (President Sim Jung-won), Ewha Woman’s University in Mapo-gu, Seoul on September 15, and offered gift packages worth 50 million won to low-income families.
The gift packages delivered to 900 low-income households in Mapo-gu, including recipients of National Basic Livelihood Security, single-parent families, disabled people and elderly people living alone, contained Songpyeon and other groceries as well as daily necessities like face masks to prevent the infection of COVID-19.
“To my knowledge, Chuseok is a meaningful holiday to Koreans when people celebrate the autumn harvest and share food with neighbors,” said CEO Al-Qahtani. “I hope that S-OIL’s small gifts will deliver warmth to neighbors who have to spend a lonely Chuseok holiday while suffering hardships amid the pandemic.
S-OIL has held the charity events of serving "tteokguk" on Lunar New Year's Day and sharing Songpyeon on every Chuseok for the last 15 years since 2007 to help local residents have a warm holiday season.
