*This content was translated by AI.

Maeil Dairy executives and employees continued their sincere social contribution by volunteering to deliver milk in the midst of a fierce cold wave for the new year in 2026.

At 3 a.m. on January 14, when the cold spell continued, Maeil Dairy executives and employees went out as daily milk delivery workers for elderly people living alone in Jongno-gu, Seoul. The executives and employees delivered milk directly to about 140 households, examined the safety of the elderly, and delivered gifts containing "Easy Digestion Milk" and "Mediwell" products, hot packs and letters that can be substituted for meals with five major nutrients.

Maeil Dairy has been leading the value consumption culture by donating 10% of its annual profits (operating profits) from operating the lacto-free milk brand "Extinguished Milk" every year to "Milk Delivery to Ask After Seniors." In addition, it is spreading the value of sharing both inside and outside the company through daily milk delivery volunteer activities in which executives and employees participate directly.

Milk Delivery, which asks how the elderly are doing, is a public service project that has been expanded through corporate and personal support since the establishment of a corporation under the representative of Pastor Ho Yong-han in 2015 after the Oksu Central Church began delivering milk to 100 elderly households living alone in low-income families in 2003. Currently, the number of households sponsored by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has been expanded to 6230 households nationwide (as of December 2025), and a total of 365 "digestible milk" are delivered per year for each elderly household. If two or more milk are piled up in front of the door, the delivery person contacts the government office to check the emergency situation, which has a practical effect of preventing loneliness.

"Easy-digesting milk" is a representative lacto-free milk brand in Korea, which removes only lactose and saves the original taste and nutrition of milk with the patented method of Maeil Dairy, and has a higher calcium content than regular milk, helping to supplement nutrition for the elderly.

Maeil Dairy has been sponsoring public service projects for senior citizens living alone for more than 10 years since 2016, and has been expanding its meaning further with volunteer activities involving executives and employees since 2024, said a Maeil Dairy official who spoke to this newspaper by phone.
