Comprehensive Review of Regional Representativeness, Brand Awareness, and Reliable Delivery

Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongnam, has selected 15 items as thank-you gifts for the Hometown Love Donation Program.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Wook] Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongnam recently held the ‘Uiryeong-gun Thank-you Gift Selection Committee’ and announced on the 28th that it selected 15 items as thank-you gifts for the Hometown Love Donation Program.

The Hometown Love Donation Program, which will be implemented from January 1 next year, is a system where individuals who donate to local governments other than their address receive tax credit benefits and thank-you gifts. Donors can receive thank-you gifts such as local agricultural and specialty products or local gift certificates within 30% of the donation amount.

The thank-you gifts from Uiryeong-gun were selected after comprehensively reviewing regional representativeness, recognition, stable supply, and delivery, including rice, Korean beef, Manggae tteok, grave mowing service vouchers, and handmade yogurt.

The county plans to select suppliers who will stably provide the thank-you gifts selected through a public contest and complete the preparation of the gifts by the end of the year.

Lee Mi-ok, Director of the Administrative Welfare Bureau, said, “We will continue to discover diverse and distinctive thank-you gifts even after the system is implemented,” and added, “We will make every effort to ensure the successful establishment of the Hometown Love Donation Program through thorough preparation.”
