Suwon City Unveils "Love's Temperature Tower" for 2025 Hope Sharing Campaign

[Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon City held an unveiling ceremony for the "Love's Temperature Tower" on the 10th in the lobby of the City Hall main building and launched the "Hope 2025 Sharing Campaign." The Love's Temperature Tower will be operated through January 31 next year, with a fundraising goal of 1 billion won.

The Love's Temperature Tower starts at 0℃ and rises by 1℃ each time 10 million won (cash and goods) is raised. The donations will be delivered to underprivileged neighbors through the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea.

Anyone—citizens, organizations, businesses, and institutions—can participate in the donation. Since December 6, Suwon City civil servants have been voluntarily participating in fundraising by wearing "Love's Fruit badges."

The unveiling ceremony was attended by Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-jun, Suwon City Council Speaker Lee Jae-sik, city councilors, and Executive Director Kim Hyo-jin of the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea, among others.

On this day, four representatives from the 44 local community security councils donated a total of 1 million won, becoming the 2025 Sharing Campaign's "first donors."

Mayor Lee Jae-jun stated, "The markings on the Love's Temperature Tower show how small acts of sharing from various places in our society come together to create great love," and added, "The Love's Temperature Tower will ignite the flames of love and sharing in the hearts of even more people."

Last year's "Hope 2024 Sharing Campaign" raised 1.04 billion won, achieving 104% of the goal amount of 1 billion won.

Donations can be made through the Love's Fruit website (https://campaign.do/zagF) via credit card, mobile payment, or bank transfer. Scanning the QR code on promotional materials for the Hope 2025 Sharing Campaign connects to the donation page.
