Dongseo Food is carrying out various sharing activities under the corporate slogan of 'Dongseo Food' that adds fragrance to life'. Among them, it is characterized by active social contribution activities centered on cultural and artistic fields such as book support, go, and music.

Every year, Dongseo Food hosts the 「Dongseo Food Dream Library」 to help children, the future leaders, develop their dreams through reading. Starting with Sangsan Elementary School in Jincheon, Chungcheongbuk-do in 2017, local elementary schools are selected to donate books and improve the reading environment. Daegu Yongho Elementary School was selected as a support school by the recommendation of the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education in April this year. Daegu Yongho Elementary School has a high enthusiasm for students' reading activities and a very high library utilization rate, but there was a lack of books, books, and reading spaces for the lower grades. Accordingly, Dongseo Food donated more than 3,000 new books and installed new books after replacing books damaged by aging in the library. In addition, an additional reading space for lower grades was provided to help students focus on reading in a more comfortable environment.

In addition, Dongseo Food is taking the lead in developing and popularizing Go culture in Korea. The 'Maxim Coffee Bae Ipshin Competition' sponsored by Dongseo Food for the past 26 years is an authoritative Go competition in which only 9 dan professional Go players in Korea are eligible to participate. The 26th Maxim Coffee Cup, held this year, started with the first match in January, and 32 top professional Go players in Korea participated in the match for about four months. Lee Ji-hyun 9 dan won against Shin Jin-seo 9 dan, the winner of the tournament, and won the Maxim Coffee Cup for the first time in five years since winning in 2020.




Held in 2008 to mark its 40th anniversary, 'East-West Coffee Classics' is a representative cultural sharing project of East-West Food. Starting with the first Seoul, free classical performances are held for citizens in major cities such as Busan, Daejeon, Incheon, Daegu, Gwangju, and Chuncheon every year. In October last year, the Daejeon Arts Center Art Hall held the '14th East-West Coffee Classics' with 1,200 Daejeon citizens.

In addition, since 2008, there has been a steady stream of sponsoring cultural assets for youth orchestras. It is an activity to support new instruments and supplies to orchestras in elementary schools across the country and improve the playing environment. Last year, it delivered new instruments and music education equipment, such as violins and cellos worth about 38 million won, to the orchestra of Daejeon Dongdo Elementary School. So far, the total amount of sponsorship has reached 490 million won.
