Goheung-gun, Recruiting Discount Franchise Stores for Volunteer Mileage Program

5~20% Discount Benefits for Top Volunteers with 150 Hours Over 2 Years When Using Discounted Franchise Stores

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Song Gwi-geun) announced on the 14th that it is recruiting ‘Volunteer Mileage Discount Franchise Stores’ throughout the year for local hopeful businesses (excluding entertainment establishments) that share the spirit of volunteering.

The Volunteer Mileage System is a project started in 2019 to foster pride among citizens who have served the local community and to encourage volunteer participation. It provides benefits such as discounts on public facility usage fees and franchise store discounts to outstanding volunteers holding a mileage certificate (issued by the Jeonnam Volunteer Center) who have completed more than 150 hours of volunteer work over two years.

Businesses wishing to join as discount franchise stores can submit an application to the Goheung-gun Volunteer Center, and the discount rate (5~20%) can be determined through a separate agreement.

The county offers a 50% discount on usage fees for eight public facilities including the Goheung Buncheong Culture Museum and the Space Launch Observatory, and through agreements with 31 discount franchise stores, provides discount benefits to 103 outstanding local volunteers.

A county official stated, “This program provides a small but significant motivation to volunteers, and franchise stores can expect increased sales through enhanced business image by displaying plaques as well as promotion through local media.”

Meanwhile, the outstanding volunteer mileage certificate can be issued by applying to the relevant city or county volunteer center with a photo ID if the volunteer has completed more than 150 hours of service in the past two years according to the 1365 Volunteer Portal.
