Gyeonggi Province explained that this project was promoted because fresh agricultural and livestock products ranked first in user preference surveys for the Food Bank in both 2022 and 2024.

The 'Value Sharing Plus Garden' project, first attempted in Gyeonggi Province, is a project to establish a donation system that provides fresh agricultural products produced in gardens to vulnerable groups within the province.

Kim Hana, Director of Welfare at Gyeonggi Province, said, "Recently, during a time when it is difficult to have a healthy meal due to unexpected heavy snow and cold waves, we realize the power of love and solidarity that we share together," adding, "Through this agreement, I hope that more gardens will be able to participate in the virtuous cycle of beautiful donations."
