The committee was composed of three ex officio members including Chairman Kim Myungshin, Deputy Governor of Jangseong, and four appointed members who are experts in welfare and cultural fields.

Following the appointment ceremony, the first deliberation meeting approved the 2023 Hometown Love Fund operation and usage plan as originally proposed.

The county plans to proceed with the fund establishment procedures, including submitting the fund operation plan to the Jangseong County Council in the future.

Deputy Governor Kim Myungshin said, “We will make every effort to ensure the smooth promotion of the Hometown Love Donation System,” and added, “We ask for your generous advice and interest.”

Meanwhile, the Hometown Love Donation System is a program where individuals can donate up to 5 million KRW annually to local governments other than their registered residence and receive return gifts and tax deduction benefits.

Recently, the county created a shortcut to the Hometown Love Donation System on the initial screen of the official county website to make it easy for anyone to participate.
