This event provided a meaningful opportunity for citizens to enjoy the festival, experience sharing in their daily lives, and reflect together on neighbors in crisis.

At the promotional booth, a mobile donation kiosk was installed and operated to make it easy for citizens to participate in sharing. Visitors to the festival were able to make small donations directly through the kiosk and take photos to certify their donations, making the act of giving enjoyable.

In addition, under the slogan "Let’s look after neighbors in need around us," a campaign was also held to identify those in welfare blind spots. Citizens were informed about how to report households in crisis and given promotional materials, encouraging them to actively seek help for neighbors in need when they are discovered.

A city official said, "It was a warm festival where we experienced sharing with citizens under the beautiful celosia flowers and reflected on the importance of our neighbors. The valuable donations, as well as the interest and participation shown toward our neighbors, will greatly help to address welfare blind spots in our society."

The precious donations collected will be used to support vulnerable groups in Yangju City through the Community Chest of Korea.
