The city attributed this success to donors' empathy for the necessity of the newly introduced fund project this year, the "Support Program for Independence Preparation Education for Children Aging Out of Protection," as well as the substantial selection of 95 different types of return gifts.

In addition, various promotional activities were carried out to boost participation, including promotions targeting major institutions, SNS campaigns, and collaborations with sister cities.

He also stated, "The city will focus even more on operating the Hometown Love Donation Program, not only forming relational populations through donations but also revitalizing residents' welfare and the local economy, and will create a brighter future together with those who love Mokpo."
