Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin District

Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) is providing Onnuri gift certificates to residents who participate in blood donation at the 'Blood Donation House Konkuk University Station Center' to ensure a stable blood supply.

The district actively encourages blood donation by offering Onnuri gift certificates annually to residents who donate blood.

Starting this year, the scope of gift certificate recipients has been expanded. Until last year, only whole blood donors received the certificates, but from this year, the support has been extended to platelet donors as well, to secure a smooth supply of blood used for transfusions for leukemia and cancer patients.

The district will provide a total of 30 million KRW worth of Onnuri gift certificates in three installments. The first installment began on the 15th, distributing 10 million KRW worth of gift certificates to residents who donated blood at the 'Blood Donation House Konkuk University Station Center.'

Any resident registered in Gwangjin-gu who is eligible to donate blood can participate. Gift certificates are provided up to twice per person annually. However, the distribution may end early if the budget for each installment is exhausted.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, stated, “Since blood cannot be artificially produced and cannot be stored for long periods, continuous participation in blood donation is necessary to maintain a stable blood supply,” adding, “We hope this Onnuri gift certificate support will foster a social atmosphere that actively encourages blood donation.”
