Various sectors in Damyang-gun are continuing to participate in the Hometown Love Donation Program.

On the 4th, Jeonnam Damyang-gun announced that Damyang Nonghyup (Chairman Kim Beom-jin) and Haenam Okcheon Nonghyup (Chairman Yoon Chi-young) have mutually donated hometown love funds.

This mutual donation was made as Chairman Kim Beom-jin of Damyang Nonghyup and Chairman Yoon Chi-young of Haenam Okcheon Nonghyup, who have been engaging in various exchange activities, along with about 130 employees including the chairmen, agreed to participate in the mutual donation.

Chairman Kim Beom-jin said, "The Hometown Love Donation Program is a system that benefits both donors and the local community," and expressed his thoughts, saying, "It is an honor to unite in participating in the Hometown Love Donation Program that helps revitalize struggling rural areas and supports farming households."

In addition, the Jongno-gu Table Tennis Association recently held an exchange visit event with the Damyang-gun Table Tennis Association, sending their support to Damyang.

The Jongno-gu Table Tennis Association includes Jongno-gu council member Kim Jong-bo, who is originally from Damyang, and through this connection, the Damyang-gun Table Tennis Association and the Jongno-gu Table Tennis Association have maintained their sisterhood relationship since 2016.

Furthermore, Park Sun-mi, the owner of the cafes ‘Damda’ and ‘Champureun’ in Ungyo-ri, Damyang-eup, also expressed her intention to participate.

Park, who has always shown great interest in the local community, donated funds on the 30th of last month to commemorate the official opening of Cafe Damda.

County Governor Lee Byung-no said, "I would like to express my gratitude to all donors who willingly contributed," and added, "We will carefully carry out the fund projects with the donated money so that the heartfelt contributions will return as meaningful results."

Meanwhile, the Hometown Love Donation Program allows individuals to donate up to 5 million KRW annually to local governments (metropolitan or basic) other than their place of residence. Donations up to 100,000 KRW are fully tax-deductible, and the excess amount receives a 16.5% tax credit, with thank-you gifts provided within 30% of the donation amount.
