Uiwang City Conducts On-Site Promotion of Hometown Love Donation Scheme for Year-End

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-sung] As the year-end approaches, Uiwang City has launched intensive promotional efforts targeting companies in the city to promote the 'Hometown Love Donation Scheme' and raise donation funds.

The city announced on December 2nd that it visited Induck-won IT Valley on November 27th and the National Agricultural Cooperatives Federation IT Center on the 28th to conduct promotional activities encouraging workers from other regions employed at companies in the city to participate in the Hometown Love Donation Scheme.

The promotion was carried out during lunch hours by distributing leaflets and promotional items to workers. To boost participation, workers who made donations on-site were given additional promotional items as tokens of appreciation.

In particular, during the promotional activities at the National Agricultural Cooperatives Federation IT Center, the Uiwang City Branch of the National Agricultural Cooperatives Federation Central Committee participated and conducted collaborative promotions explaining the public interest and local benefits of the Hometown Love Donation Scheme to federation employees. At this event, the Uiwang City Branch distributed 500 bags (500g each) of brown rice, generating significant interest from employees.

Meanwhile, the Hometown Love Donation Scheme allows individuals to make donations to local governments other than their registered residence. The accumulated donations are used for projects promoting resident welfare by the local government, and donors receive full tax deduction benefits up to 100,000 won and return gifts worth 30% of the donation amount.

Gwon Hee-soon, Director of the Autonomous Administration Division of Uiwang City Government, stated, "The Hometown Love Donation Scheme is an important system for revitalizing the local economy and enhancing resident welfare." She added, "As this is a critical period for fundraising for the Hometown Love Donation Scheme, we will do our best to encourage donation participation through the end of the year."
