[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Jeong Jong-sun) announced on the 28th that it held a 'Love Coin Collection Fundraising Event' to overcome COVID-19 at the county office square on the 27th.

During the month of April, the county installed love piggy banks at public institutions and financial institutions under the county to carry out a coin collection campaign. The funds collected through this event were totaled at 13,205,340 KRW.

Participants in the fundraising searched for coins sleeping in drawers at home or office and filled piggy banks over the course of a month.

The donations will be used to support marginalized groups in welfare blind spots who are suffering from the prolonged COVID-19 situation through the Jangheung Comprehensive Social Welfare Center.

Jeong Jong-sun, Governor of Jangheung-gun, said, "I express my respect and gratitude to the local residents who participated in the fundraising campaign with one heart," and added, "Just as many small grains of dust make a mountain, I hope the warm hearts that started with a single small coin will become a great hope for neighbors in need."
