Though Far in Body, Close at Heart!

The 'Hometown Love Donation System,' which has been in effect since January 1, 2023, will continue in 2024.


The 'Hometown Love Donation System' is a program where voluntary donations help support struggling local finances, and donors receive a 'thank-you gift' and 'tax credit' benefits, allowing them to enjoy the joy of sharing, receive local specialty gifts, and get tax deductions?making it a 'triple benefit' system.

Donations of up to 5 million KRW per year can be made through Hometown Love e-um and NH Nonghyup Bank. Donations of 100,000 KRW or less are fully tax-deductible, while amounts exceeding 100,000 KRW are eligible for a 16.5% tax credit. Donors can select thank-you gifts within 30% of the donation amount.


This year, Yeongyang-gun has expanded the selection of thank-you gifts to include agricultural fermented liquids, dried vegetables, pickled products, and mushrooms, in addition to the existing red pepper powder and traditional sauces, broadening the choices for donors.


Additionally, Yeongyang-gun has selected the 'Laundry Support Project for Vulnerable Groups' as part of the 2024 Hometown Love Donation System initiative. This project aims to provide laundry services to households facing difficulties due to physical or economic challenges, thereby realizing a public welfare service closely connected to daily life.



County Governor Oh Do-chang expressed, "I am deeply grateful that the warm hearts of expatriates over the past year have come together to enable us to implement the laundry support project for vulnerable groups for our residents." He added, "This year, I hope not only expatriates but also those living in other cities and provinces will continue to show great interest and love for our county."
