Jongno-gu Shares Neighborly Love Campaign Ahead of Chuseok Holiday

You can put long-lasting canned goods and daily necessities into the 'Donation Sharing Box' placed in nearby community centers until the 20th... There is also a way to donate securities including Onnuri gift certificates or transfer money to the Jongno-gu Social Welfare Council account.

Jongno-gu (District Mayor Jeong Munheon) is conducting the '2023 Chuseok Sharing Campaign' from the 1st to the 20th of this month.

The campaign aims to convey warm neighborly love to vulnerable neighbors who are having a difficult time due to the economic downturn and high inflation during the holiday season, and to reduce resource waste by sharing items that are not needed by oneself but useful to others.

Anyone interested in participating can place items in the 'Donation Sharing Box' located at nearby community service centers and the district office's Welfare Policy Division.

Acceptable donation items include non-perishable goods such as canned food, canned beverages, sauces, noodles, rice, and daily necessities like soap and toothpaste. Gift certificates, including Onnuri gift certificates and Happy Money gift certificates, are also accepted. However, fresh foods that may spoil at room temperature, products with damaged packaging, and items nearing their expiration date are excluded. Additionally, donations can be made by transferring funds to the Jongno-gu Social Welfare Council account to help neighbors in need.

During the campaign period, the collected items will be distributed to low-income neighbors in the area through the Jongno-gu Food Market Bank, and the donations will be used meaningfully to ensure a joyful holiday for the vulnerable groups.

Along with this, Jongno-gu will also hold an SNS event that rewards participants who join in spreading the culture of sharing during the campaign period with mobile gift certificates.

By adding the district's KakaoTalk channel as a friend, taking a donation certification photo, and applying through an online Google form, 100 people will be randomly selected to receive mobile gift certificates worth approximately 7,000 KRW. Among the winners, 20 people will receive additional prizes.

District Mayor Jeong Munheon stated, “We ask for your great interest and participation in this campaign, which supports sharing neighborly love through various methods such as donating daily necessities, food, and money, and helps vulnerable groups enjoy a happy holiday.”
