The Korean American Association
of Queens received
$100,000 worth of masks, hand
sanitizer, medicinal herbs and
other products from the Korea
Ginseng Corp. (KGC) last
month.
KGC has been donating its
health and wellness products
and masks to areas hit hard
by the COVID-19 pandemic.
KGC’s U.S. CEO Heung-sil Lee
said the company also donated
products and supplies to hospitals,
schools and the Los Angeles
Police Department.
“I’m very pleased to help
our fellow Koreans in New
York,” Lee said. “The pandemic
has made us realize how
important it is to maintain our
immune systems, and we hope
this donation will be a source
of good health and good cheer.”
John An, the Korean Association
of Queens president,
said he is extremely grateful
for the donation.
“We will be sure to distribute
them immediately to underprivileged
groups and organizations
that could really use
the support,” An said.
KGC works to support
healthy immune responses,
energy levels and other wellness
concerns.
“The product we are handling
enhances immunity. It’s
quite popular in Asian communities
and as part of our social
responsibility, we decide
to donate our products occasionally,”
Lee said.
They count on you...
So count on us to
keep you going.
