This Year's Fundraising Goal: 2 Billion Won, Up 400 Million Won from Last Year's 1.6 Billion Won
Fundraising Continues Until February 14, 2025... Donations Accepted In-Person and Online
On the 19th, Guro-gu held the ‘2025 Hope Ondol Warm Winter Campaign’ proclamation ceremony at the district office plaza, marking the official start of fundraising activities.
The ceremony was attended by about 70 people, including Eom Euishik, Acting Mayor of Guro-gu, the chairman of the Guro Hope Welfare Foundation, the regional project manager of the Seoul Community Chest of Korea, chairpersons of the community security councils from each dong, and representatives of donors from various fields.
The event included a donation handover ceremony by donor representatives, the appointment of sharing ambassadors composed of chairpersons of the community security councils from each dong, and the unveiling of the Warm Winter Temperature Tower.
To spread a culture of sharing centered on the local community, the district launched branding under the name ‘Our Guro Warm Sharing.’ Chairpersons of the community security councils from 16 dongs were appointed as sharing ambassadors to encourage residents to voluntarily participate in the donation culture.
This year’s fundraising target is 2 billion KRW, which is a 25% increase compared to last year’s target of 1.6 billion KRW. Based on the experience of significantly exceeding the target by raising over 4.3 billion KRW?27 billion KRW above the goal?in the 2024 Warm Winter Campaign, the district plans to pursue fundraising more actively.
The 2025 Hope Ondol Warm Winter Campaign fundraising will be open for participation until February 14, next year.
Donors can visit the Welfare Policy Division of Guro District Office or the local community centers in each dong to fill out a donation form and contribute food, various daily necessities, or money. For those who find it difficult to visit in person, donations can be made by scanning the QR code posted on the notice boards at the community centers or on the district office’s website.
A Guro-gu official said, “We hope that through this year’s Warm Winter Campaign, more neighbors will be able to spend the winter warmly,” and added, “We look forward to the entire community coming together to continue this heartfelt sharing.”
