South Korean electronics company announced a new initiative in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Korea to help homeless families during this COVID-19 pandemic.

Dubbed #LGComeHomeChallenge, it is a digital campaign that will require consumers to create and share short videos expressing why home is special to them. The videos will then have to be shared on Instagram and Facebook with the hashtag.

LG’s task will then be making donations in the participants’ names to help build homes for neediest families in India, Kenya, and Vietnam.
