Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Lee Byeongno) announced on the 22nd that it will hold the "Bamboo's Hometown, Damyang Presents: Special Gift Event for the Year of the Blue Snake" to promote participation in the Hometown Love Donation Program during the Lunar New Year holiday.

The New Year event will run for seven days from January 25 to 31. During this period, those who donate 100,000 KRW or more to Damyang-gun will be eligible for a prize draw, with 20 winners each selected among general donors (donating to the local government) and designated donors (donating to specific projects).

Additionally, to celebrate the Year of the Blue Snake, 10 donors born in the Year of the Snake will be separately selected to receive special gifts. Three high-value donors who contribute 1,000,000 KRW or more will also be chosen by lottery to receive a one-night stay voucher at Juknokwon.

To participate, donors simply need to apply for a gift after making their donation through the Hometown Love e-Eum website during the event period; entry is automatic. Winners will be notified individually in February.

Meanwhile, the Hometown Love Donation Program allows individuals to donate up to 20,000,000 KRW annually to local governments outside their place of residence (both metropolitan and basic local governments). Donations up to 100,000 KRW are fully tax-deductible, and amounts above that receive a 16.5% tax credit. Donors may also receive gifts worth up to 30% of their donation amount.
