The salary rounding donation sharing by Daegu Seo-gu Office employees started in 2013 to share warmth with neighbors through small donations and volunteer activities, and until 2022, they have donated over 65 million KRW. In July this year, they added voluntary contributions from senior officials to the salary rounding donations and delivered 3 million KRW for flood recovery relief in Yecheon-gun.
Ryu Hanguk, Mayor of Daegu Seo-gu, expressed gratitude to the employees who participated in the salary rounding donation and said, “I hope more employees join the rounding donation to create a caring and warm Seo-gu where we live together.”
