Local governments nationwide participated in promotional activities to convey the message, "Hometown Love Donation System connects hometowns and citizens," emphasizing that small interests can bring warmth to struggling local areas.

At the promotional booth, the county displayed return gifts made from local agricultural specialties and held a Korean traditional confectionery tasting event to provide information on how to donate and the benefits of the Hometown Love Donation System, while also promoting Damyang's specialty products.

In particular, the return gifts such as Korean traditional confectionery and sauces made by masters of Damyang-gun ahead of the Chuseok holiday received great responses from visitors.

A county official said, "Return gifts have a very strong incentive effect for donations," adding, "We will use this expo as an opportunity to discover more diverse return gifts and expand the range of items."

Currently, Damyang-gun has selected return gifts three times, with 38 items, 44 companies, and about 100 products registered in the Hometown Love e-um system, and is preparing the fourth set of return gifts.
