Meal Sharing, Warm Contact
In the SK Group's "Meal Sharing, Warm Contact Project," Walkerhill Hotels & Resorts extends warmth to the community. At the Gwangjin Senior Welfare Center in January 2021, 200 elderly members of vulnerable groups received packed lunches, traditional Korean delicacies, and masks from Walkerhill executives and staff.
The Walkerhill culinary team directly provided menu consulting and Walkerhill SUPEX kimchi to provide healthy lunch boxes to older adults at this event. By working with a local lunch box company whose sales have decreased due to COVID-19, Walkerhill added its meaning to supporting small businesses. Additionally, we demonstrate our concern for the environment using tableware and packaging made of sustainable materials.
