According to the county on November 20, this event was planned to attract donor interest and promote a healthy donation culture, in line with the year-end season when donation participation peaks.

During the event, all donors who contribute at least 100,000 won to Gochang County will be entered into a weekly random drawing, with 40 winners selected each week. A total of 160 winners will receive a 30,000-won Gochang Market online coupon.

To further boost fundraising, the county will offer a special accommodation voucher worth approximately 280,000 won to three donors who help the total event donations reach 500 million, 600 million, and 700 million won, respectively. This is expected to increase the number of visitors to Gochang and revitalize local tourism.

County Governor Sim Deokseop said, "The warm hearts of each and every donor come together to become a great force for the future of our region," adding, "I hope this special event will elevate the value of giving and serve as an opportunity to expand meaningful participation in supporting our hometown."

Meanwhile, the Hometown Love Donation Program allows individuals to donate up to 20 million won annually to local governments other than their place of residence. Donors can receive a return gift worth up to 30% of their donation and enjoy full tax deductions (100% for donations up to 100,000 won, and 16.5% for amounts exceeding that). Donations can be easily made through the Hometown Love e-Eum website or mobile app.
