Inspire Entertainment Resort, a complex with foreigner-only casino at Incheon in South Korea, says some of its employees have done voluntary work to support “vulnerable groups in Incheon’s island areas ahead of the cold winter season”.
The initiative was in partnership with the Incheon Tourism Organization’s Island Development Support Center, stated the casino firm in a recent press release.
In late November, a group of Inspire’s employee volunteers visited Jangbong Hyerimwon, a social welfare facility in Ongjin County, to show support to individuals with developmental challenges.
During the activity, the volunteers painted murals and worked on the facility’s maintenance.
The company also said it made a KRW15-million (US$10,145) donation to the Ongjin County Community Welfare Council, to initiate support programmes to help single-person households and vulnerable groups in the region’s island and mountain districts.
“These initiatives aim to address social welfare gaps by providing practical support, such as urgent assistance for winter housing and living safety,” stated the casino firm.
Inspire also invited residents and staff of Jangbong Hyerimwon – a social welfare facility located on Jangbong Island, off the coast of Incheon – and social workers from other organisations, to a music festival held at Inspire Arena.
That was to mark Inspire’s “gratitude” for the social workers’ “dedication to the region’s social welfare efforts, providing them with an opportunity to enjoy cultural performances and recharge,” said the resort’s statement.
The announcement cited an Inspire representative saying the complex “strives to share our hospitality spirit with community members in need, based on the active participation of our employees”.
“We are committed to providing sustainable support through donation-supported programmes rather than one-off efforts. By continuing collaborative social contribution activities … we aim to foster meaningful exchanges within the community,” the person added.
