Friday 15 May 2020 | No. 97 / 2020


Bangkok, 15 May 2020 – SEC has launched the Pantry of Sharing Scheme as a tool to provide food and basic necessities for nearby communities and the general public affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

SEC Secretary-General Ruenvadee Suwanmongkol said: “SEC recognizes the importance of social sharing and support for the community. The launch of the Pantry of Sharing Scheme today is part of the SEC’s 28th Anniversary Celebrations. We have set up two pantries, one at the front entrance and the other at the back ally of the SEC Building, to provide daily essential items such as rice, dry foods and basic necessities for those in nearby communities who are affected by the COVID-19 spread. We hope our sharing will help with living expenses of the needy and alleviate the pandemic impacts on the society in some ways. This is also a great opportunity for our SEC family to share happiness with our fellow Thais.
 
“SEC Staff is very pleased to be a part of social sharing through the Pantry of Sharing Scheme for the neighboring communities. We would like to invite anybody capable of helping others to join our social sharing activity by refilling foods or daily essentials in our pantries of sharing as well.”
