[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do, has launched the Hope 2021 Sharing Campaign fundraising under the slogan "Continue Love through Sharing" for 62 days from the 1st of this month to January 31 of next year.

According to Jindo-gun on the 17th, although they have operated daily tea houses by town and township every year to raise funds for helping neighbors, this year it has been difficult to operate daily tea houses due to COVID-19, so the temperature of love is being raised through voluntary sharing participation by residents.

Those who wish to participate in the fundraising can inquire at the Jeonnam Community Chest of Korea or the Jindo-gun Resident Welfare Division.

Last year, Jindo-gun raised 170 million won and received 220 million won from the Jeonnam Community Chest of Korea, which was used to provide emergency support for low-income families in the region and support for housing repair and maintenance.

Additionally, three vehicles (worth about 70 million won) were purchased and delivered to the Jindo-gun Regional Self-Support Center, Seogyeong Senior Welfare Center, and Jindo-gun Basic Food Bank to provide visiting welfare services for neighbors in need.

A representative from the Jindo-gun Resident Welfare Division said, "The funds collected little by little through the small sincerity of the residents are greatly helping to solve welfare issues in the local community," and added, "During the time when social distancing is expanding due to COVID-19, we hope all residents unite and actively participate in the sharing campaign so that warm hearts of love to help neighbors in need can be gathered."
