About 15 officials, including Mayor Lee Chung-woo of Yeoju and Lee Jae-jung, Chairman of the Gyeonggi Province Branch of the Korean Red Cross, attended the delivery ceremony.

Mayor Lee Chung-woo said, “I am grateful for the Korean Red Cross’s humanitarian activities such as disaster relief support, assistance to vulnerable groups, volunteer activities, and blood donation supply, and I am pleased to participate in this meaningful cause.”

Yeoju City pays special membership fees annually to help neighbors in need and various disaster relief activities, and the fees delivered on this day will be used for the Red Cross’s emergency disaster relief activities, support for vulnerable groups in welfare blind spots, and other humanitarian projects.

Red Cross membership fees are collected throughout the year, with a focused collection period from December 1, 2024, to January 31, 2025.

Korean Red Cross membership fees are voluntary public donations and can be paid through various methods such as the Korean Red Cross website, telephone answering system, and financial institution giro counters, with tax deduction benefits available during year-end tax settlement.
