Samsung employees volunteer to share the holiday spirit with neighbors on Lunar New Year’s day

Now that Sŏllal, the Korean New Year days are upon us, Samsung electronics and their employees engaged in a multitude of volunteer services to aid the underprivileged such as blood donation campaign and to renovate home for the elderly living alone.

Samsung started a company-wide one month long blood donation campaign starting from the 28th at its business operations across the country to resolve chronic issue of lack of blood donation in winter time.
This event takes place once in every two years from 1996 and a total of 270,000 employees have donated blood for the past 18 years. This year alone about 16,000 employees are expected to join the efforts.

Samsung also donates 800 million won to renovate old and decrepit residential buildings for seniors living alone.
Samsung Electronics handpicked 912 single-family households in dire need for repair across the country over the past full month from December the 20th with the help from The Comprehensive Support Center for the Elderly Living Alone.
