Mokpo City, in collaboration with NH Nonghyup Mokpo Sinan Branch, conducted a promotional campaign on July 30 aimed at encouraging participation in the Hometown Love Donation Program among commuters.
The campaign took place at the Gwangju District Prosecutor's Office in Mokpo, where officials from both Mokpo City and NH Nonghyup informed employees and visitors about the purpose and benefits of the program, while also promoting the consumption of local agricultural products.
During the event, representatives provided information on how to participate in the Hometown Love Donation Program, including tax deduction benefits and the gift system for donors.
Mokpo City also introduced projects utilizing the Hometown Love Fund and highlighted local seafood specialties, such as abalone and shrimp, which have recently been added as new gifts.
NH Nonghyup Mokpo Sinan Branch supported the initiative by hosting a 'Sharing Our Rice and Fresh Onion' event, showcasing locally produced agricultural products and fostering a consumption-friendly atmosphere.
The city plans to expand its on-site promotional efforts to public institutions, businesses, and related organizations to increase participation in the Hometown Love Donation Program and contribute to the revitalization of the local economy.
Kim Hyung-soon, head of the Autonomous Administration Division, expressed hope that the campaign would raise awareness of the Hometown Love Donation Program and enhance the consumption of local agricultural and marine products. He added that the city would continue its promotional activities in collaboration with various organizations to invigorate the program and the local economy.
The Hometown Love Donation Program allows individuals to donate up to 20 million won annually to local governments outside their registered residence, offering tax deductions and gifts of local specialties worth up to 30% of the donation.
