GS Caltex Soup Kitchen for Elderly
We have been operating the GS Caltex Soup Kitchen for Elderly for low-income senior citizens in the Yeosu area since 2008. Every weekday from Monday to Friday, we provide lunch to some 350 senior citizens on a daily basis. The meal is served by volunteers from dozens of smaller volunteer groups whose members are GS Caltex employees and spouses as well as former employees. Since 2020, to prevent coronavirus infection, we have stopped operating soup kitchens and are delivering ‘Side Dish Packages’ containing side dishes, kimchi, and instant soup to elderly families living alone once a week.
