Jungnang-gu Achieves Record Highest Donation Amount (1.9 Billion KRW) for '2025 Warm Winter Campaign'

From Daycare Children to Anonymous Donors and Companies, Donations Continue
Support Extended to Over 27,000 Low-Income Households... Expanding Aid for Welfare Blind Spots

Jungnang-gu (District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) concluded the ‘2025 Hope Ondol Warm Winter Campaign,’ which was conducted over three months starting last November, with the highest donation amount ever recorded, thanks to the warm generosity of the residents.

The ‘Hope Ondol Warm Winter Campaign’ is an annual fundraising project jointly carried out by Jungnang-gu and the Seoul Community Chest of Korea. This year, a total of 1.9 billion KRW was raised, including 820 million KRW in cash donations and 1.08 billion KRW in goods. Notably, the cash donations set a new record since the campaign’s inception.

The fundraising saw a continuous wave of sharing across all ages, including 40 million KRW donated by local daycare children through ‘Love Piggy Banks.’

Additionally, there was a touching story of an anonymous donor contributing 10 million KRW. Corporate participation was also active, with more than 10 companies donating over 10 million KRW each, reflecting the warm support of the local community.

The collected cash and goods were primarily distributed to approximately 27,000 low-income households, including recipients of the National Basic Livelihood Security, elderly living alone, single-parent families, and children in foster care. The cash donations will be used for various projects aimed at eliminating welfare blind spots within the community.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, expressed, “I deeply thank everyone who shared their warmth despite the economic downturn. Starting this year, we plan to further spread the culture of sharing among the 400,000 residents through the ‘Jungnang Together Love Net,’ and we ask for your continued interest and participation.”
