In accordance with the humanitarian ideology, the Red Cross rushes to places in need to extend a helping hand to neighbors who are marginalized and suffering, and carries out dedicated relief activities for disaster victims and low-income residents affected by unexpected disasters and accidents.

To this end, the Korean Red Cross has designated the period from December 1, 2023, to January 31, 2024, as the intensive fundraising period for the 2024 Red Cross membership fees, actively encouraging citizens to pay attention to their neighbors in need and provide warm assistance.
