The selected items include ▲16 agricultural and livestock products and processed foods (Seongsimdang bread, Sannae Nonghyup grapes, Seogi Wonju Brewery Seokroju, etc.) ▲6 crafts and industrial products (Shine & Shine Co. basic cosmetics, Serapico organic shampoo, etc.) ▲2 tourism and service products (O-World free pass, National Daejeon Forest Experience Center double room accommodation voucher), etc.

The Hometown Love Donation Program is a system that allows individuals to donate up to 5 million KRW annually to local governments other than their place of residence.

Donors can receive a full tax credit up to 100,000 KRW, and a 16.5% tax credit on the amount exceeding 100,000 KRW.

Additionally, donors receive local agricultural specialty products as return gifts within 30% of the donation amount. The donations are used for welfare, culture and arts, and regional revitalization projects in the donated area.

Kim Young-jin, Director of the Communication Policy Division of Daejeon City, said, “We will strive to discover return gifts that satisfy donors through continuous satisfaction surveys,” and added, “We ask for the interest of many citizens and expatriates for the successful establishment of the system.”
