Meanwhile, Yangpyeong-gun and the Gyeonggi Social Welfare Community Chest are promoting the ‘2024 Love Briquette Collection Campaign’ to support low-income residents in the area who are struggling to afford briquettes and heating costs during the winter by providing briquettes, heating oil, and heating supplies. The fundraising will continue until January 31 of next year.

The donated funds and goods will be entrusted to the Gyeonggi Social Welfare Community Chest, and donors can receive donation receipts and income tax deductions during year-end tax settlements for their contributions.
