The Export-Import Bank of Korea said Wednesday it donated eight cars to centers supporting multicultural families Tuesday.

The donation of four Hyundai Starex vans and four Kia Soul compact cars -- worth 160 million won ($142,500) in total -- was made through Community Chest of Korea. It was delivered to eight recipients, including the Korea Migration Foundation, chosen by Community Chest of Korea.

The donation was part of the bank’s corporate social responsibility program. It was designed to contribute to the “soft landing of new multicultural members to the community,” said Hong Young-pyo, executive director and acting president of Eximbank of Korea.

Eximbank of Korea has donated 60 vehicles worth 986 million won since 2011.
