The district will conduct a special fundraising campaign for 10 days from March 31 to April 11, targeting public officials, residents, related organizations, and groups affiliated with Seongbuk-gu. This is to assist the rapid return to normalcy in the affected areas following the large-scale wildfires that caused significant loss of life and property. The funds raised will be used through designated donations to provide emergency relief and support for victims, as well as recovery activities.

In addition to fundraising, the district is also pursuing measures such as providing relief supplies. Prior to the fundraising campaign, Seongbuk-gu’s Fashion Sewing Association donated over 1,000 clothing items, about 1,000 towels, approximately 300 pairs of shoes, and local sponsorship items from each neighborhood community center, which were delivered to the wildfire-affected areas in Yeongnam.

Mayor Lee Seung-ro expressed, “I extend my deepest condolences to the residents of the Yeongnam region who have lost precious lives and property due to this wildfire,” and added, “We hope the affected areas recover as soon as possible, and Seongbuk-gu will continue to seek ways to provide ongoing support with sustained interest.”
