OREANDA-NEWS. S-OIL CEO Nasser Al-Mahasher donates fuel coupons worth 200 mil. won for vehicles of the “Food Sharing Project (Food Bank)” in farming and fishing villages.

S-OIL(CEO Nasser Al-Mahasher) donated fuel coupons worth 200 mil. won to the Korea National Council on Social Welfare (chairman: Cha Heung-bong, KNCSW) on Oct. 10 to support fuel expenses for vehicles of the Food Bank, a free food sharing project for underprivileged people.

The refiner’s donations will be delivered to 100 food banks in farming and fishing villages and will be used to fuel food bank vehicles in order to help low-income families, elderly people living alone, welfare facilities, and other people in need.

S-OIL CEO Nasser Al-Mahasher said, “When I studied in the United States, I learned that food sharing activities for disadvantaged people are everyday routines in the lives of US citizens, and as I came to know that Korea also conducts food sharing projects vigorously across the nation, I have supported it since last year, when I took office as S-OIL CEO.” He went on to say, “As fuel is what S-OIL can support best as an oil refiner, I’m pleased to help food banks in farming and fishing villages where they have difficulty in delivering food as they are not financially viable enough to run their vehicles every day.”

The Food Bank is a non-profit, charitable project where KNCSW distributes to welfare facilities and low-income families food donated by food manufacturers and individuals that have excess food generated during each process of production, distribution, sale, and consumption. Aside from the central organization, National Food Bank, 17 metropolitan food banks, and 409 community food banks nationwide are reaching out to 2 mil. disadvantaged people per year.
