This campaign is a citizen-participation fundraising initiative aimed at spreading a culture of sharing within the local community during the year-end and New Year season. The city has installed a "Love Thermometer Tower," the symbol of the campaign, in the first-floor lobby of City Hall, and will share real-time updates on fundraising progress.

The city has set its fundraising goal at 1.4 billion won, an increase of 100 million won compared to last year's 1.3 billion won. When the goal is reached, the Love Thermometer Tower will hit 100 degrees.

To further enhance convenience for citizens, the city installed a "Donation Sharing Kiosk" on the first floor of the City Hall's main building on November 26, and it is currently in operation. Citizens can donate various amounts starting from 1,000 won through the kiosk. Donors can receive a donation receipt, which can be submitted for tax deductions during year-end tax settlement.

Jung Myung-geun, Mayor of Hwaseong, stated, "This campaign is a very meaningful event where the warm hearts of each citizen come together to deliver practical help to our neighbors," and added, "Even a small act of sharing can lead to great hope, so I encourage many citizens to actively participate."
