South Korean oil refinery company S-Oil announced on Wednesday that it has donated 1 billion won ($793,000) to the Korea National Council on Social Welfare to help vulnerable households affected by the recent spike in winter heating bills.
The donation will be used to provide heating cost relief for welfare facilities and households that are in need of energy support as determined by social welfare institutions across the country. Beneficiaries may include grandparents who raise their grandchildren, senior citizens who live alone, disabled people and multicultural families.

S-Oil first launched its Hope to You Campaign in 2015, through which it donates heating oil to those with financial difficulties.
