Taihan has extended a helping hand to local farmers in Dangjin ahead of the Chuseok holiday.
On September 29, Taihan took part in a Local Volunteer Program to assist with the sweet potato harvest in celebration of Korea’s major holiday, Chuseok. The initiative was organized to help farms facing labor shortages during the busy harvest season and to embody the company’s commitment to shared growth with the local community.
The volunteer activity was held on September 26 in Janghang 1-ri and Samhwa 1-ri, villages near Taihan’s Dangjin Cable Plant, one of the company’s key production bases. Led by Executive Vice President Hyun-joo Kim, Head of Production Technology, and Labor Union Chairman Jin-yeon Kang, more than 50 employees harvested about 2,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes. The joint participation of management and labor union members symbolized unity and harmony, while the attendance of Dangjin Mayor Oh Seong-hwan and city officials further underscored the significance of the event.
Earlier, on September 23, Taihan donated sweet potatoes and local specialties—including yakgwa (traditional Korean confection) and pumpkin bread made from Dangjin-sourced ingredients—to seven welfare facilities for people with disabilities through the Dangjin Welfare Foundation. These items were delivered to residents and facility users during the Chuseok holiday period.
Mayor Oh expressed his gratitude, saying, “Taihan’s support has been a great help to local farms during this critical harvest season. We appreciate the company’s continued interest in our community and its meaningful social contributions.”
A Taihan official stated, “We continue to carry out diverse social contribution activities for seniors, children, and people with disabilities to realize the value of shared growth with the community. We will continue to spread the warmth of sharing to more neighbors through ongoing volunteer initiatives.”
Beyond this activity, Taihan also contributes to the development of the Dangjin community through tree-planting campaigns, educational programs for elementary school students, and other initiatives that promote sustainable regional growth.
