  "summary": "Sangmidang Holdings has expanded its support for food banks by donating two refrigerated trucks to the Korea Foodbank, according to a report by The Korea Times. This addition brings the total number of trucks provided since the foundation signed a partnership agreement in October 2022 to 12, with plans to provide eight more by 2030. The handover ceremony took place in Dongjak District, Seoul, attended by Sangmidang Holdings Chairman Hur Young-in and Kim Hyun-hoon, president of the Korea National Council on Social Welfare. The trucks will serve Busanjin District in Busan and Gyeryong, South Chungcheong Province. The company also donated 4,000 bakery products, which were loaded onto the trucks. The vehicles were needed to address issues with aging vehicles, refrigeration failures, and frequent breakdowns that had hampered deliveries at some food banks, creating operational difficulties and posing a financial burden on the food-sharing organization.",
