This campaign, organized by the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea, is being held under the slogan "Donation that Adds Happiness, Changing Seongnam through Giving" and will run from December 2 until January 31 of next year.

The fundraising goal for this winter is 1.4 billion won.

For every 14 million won in donations collected, which is 1% of the target amount, the temperature on the Love Temperature Tower rises by one degree. When the goal is reached, the tower will display 100 degrees.

Last winter, the campaign raised 1.406 billion won, surpassing the previous target of 1.4 billion won.

Companies, organizations, groups, and individuals wishing to participate in helping neighbors in need can donate at one of the 54 "Sharing Love with Each Other for the Year-End and New Year" counters installed at city hall, district offices, and local administrative welfare centers, or through the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea's account.

The funds raised will be used to support low-income neighbors in the local community.

About 30 people attended the unveiling ceremony, including Sinsangjin, Mayor of Seongnam; Ahn Gwangrim, Vice Chairman of the Seongnam City Council; and Kim Hyojin, Secretary General of the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea, and participated in the fundraising campaign.

NH Nonghyup Bank Seongnam Branch (Branch Manager Yang Heungsik) donated 200 million won, earning recognition as a "Gold Member of the Honor Society of Sharing Companies" (for companies that have donated over 500 million won in the past three years) by the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea.
