Suwon's 'Thermometer of Love' Surpasses 100°C Again This Year

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Joon-sung] The 'Hope 2024 Sharing Campaign' conducted by Suwon Special City and the Gyeonggi Community Chest from December last year through January this year concluded by exceeding its fundraising target of 1 billion won.

The city held an unveiling ceremony for the 'Thermometer of Love' in the lobby of City Hall on December 4 last year and began the sharing campaign.

The Thermometer of Love starts at 0°C and rises 1°C each time 10 million won is raised. This year, it reached 102°C (1.02 billion won).

The donations will be delivered to vulnerable neighbors through the Gyeonggi Community Chest and will be used for heating and cooling expenses for vulnerable households, cleaning of homes with storage disorders, and support for welfare facilities.

A city official said, "Despite economic difficulties, many citizens and businesses stepped forward to donate for neighbors in need," and added, "The precious donations will be used to help those neighbors in need."
