Hampyeong-gun's 'Hope 2021 Sharing Campaign' Heats Up from Day One

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The 'Hope 2021 Sharing Campaign' in Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do, is heating up from the first day.

According to Hampyeong-gun on the 2nd, a total of 23 million won worth of donations poured in just on the 1st.

Hampyeong Livestock Cooperative (Chairman Kim Youngju) donated 13.91 million won, Jinsan Construction Co., Ltd. (CEO Park Jinseok) donated 3 million won, and the Korea Forestry Successors Association Hampyeong Branch (Branch Chief Kim Changyeol) donated 2 million won respectively.

Along with this, the Beautiful Couple Association (President Won Sangkwon) donated 200 boxes of ramen worth 2 million won, and Skynet Co., Ltd. (CEO Ji Hyungeun) and an anonymous donor each contributed 1 million won in cash.

Hampyeong-gun, together with the Jeonnam Community Chest of Korea, will carry out fundraising activities for the 'Hope 2021 Sharing Campaign' until January 31 next year.

This year, considering COVID-19 and the heavy rain damage in July and August, the county set a target fundraising amount of about 260 million won, which is 80% of last year's amount.

All the funds raised will be used as various resources necessary for providing local welfare services, such as support projects for vulnerable groups and subsidies for social welfare facilities in the area.

Lee Sangik, Mayor of Hampyeong-gun, said, "Since this is a difficult time for the whole country due to an unprecedented infectious disease emergency, the warm hands of the residents are needed more than ever," and added, "We ask for active participation in this Hope Sharing Campaign with the spirit of sharing and solidarity."

Meanwhile, Hampyeong-gun raised a total of 327.82 million won through last year's Hope Sharing Campaign, and the funds were fully used to support welfare services for low-income and other vulnerable groups in the region.
