[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Community Chest of Korea (Chairman Nodongil, Jeonnam Sarangui Yeolmae) announced on the 8th that the '2022 Hope Sharing Campaign' Love Thermometer Tower reached 119 degrees.

This campaign was conducted for 62 days from December 1 last year to January 31 under the slogan "Sharing, a social vaccine for all," raising about 10.629 billion KRW.

At the closing ceremony, Chairman Nodongil of Jeonnam Sarangui Yeolmae, Heo Youngho, representative member of Jeonnam Honor Society, Kang Younggu, Director of Jeonnam Provincial Health and Welfare Bureau, and executives attended.

Of the total amount raised in the Hope 2022 Sharing Campaign, about 10.629 billion KRW, individual donations accounted for about 5.409 billion KRW (51.7%), and corporate donations accounted for about 5.139 billion KRW (48.3%).

The final amount raised in last year’s campaign was 10.365 billion KRW, with individual donations of about 4.682 billion KRW and corporate donations of about 5.683 billion KRW, showing an increase in individual donations.

Within 48 days after the launch of the Hope 2022 Sharing Campaign, the Love Thermometer Tower reached 100.9 degrees, demonstrating the growing enthusiasm for donations in Jeonnam Province despite the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Warm donation stories continued throughout Jeonnam Province, such as an anonymous donor who put an envelope containing cash with the phrase "I hope this is used for children in need" into a mailbox, and middle school students who sold rings and bracelets they made themselves and donated the proceeds.

Eight new members joined the Jeonnam Honor Society as high-value individual donors contributing over 100 million KRW each.

The collected funds will be used to create a Jeollanam-do free from poverty, exclusion, and disease by supporting COVID-19 daily recovery, medical and living expenses for families in crisis, housing repairs and new construction for vulnerable households, and childcare and educational support for children and adolescents.

Chairman Nodongil of Jeonnam Sarangui Yeolmae said, “Although these are difficult times, I deeply thank all the residents of Jeonnam Province who participated in sharing to help their neighbors,” and added, “We will do our best to ensure prompt support and the formation of a welfare safety net wherever help is needed in Jeonnam Province.”
