Seniors can use the Buan Love Gift Certificate card at partnered bathhouses.

The county also introduced other major projects to be promoted through the Hometown Love Donation program in 2025, including the "Protect the Wild Bee Bungbungi" ESG environmental project, which aims to lead environmental protection efforts and contribute to maintaining the Earth's temperature at 1°C.

For young people, the "Youth Housing Support Project" provides assistance for stable housing, encouraging the influx of young residents to Buan.

The county plans to continuously discover various fund projects to improve the quality of life for Buan residents and revitalize the local economy, while expanding a range of welfare and environmental protection activities through the Hometown Love Donation fund.

A county official stated, "The Hometown Love Donation program is an important system that can have a positive impact on the lives of local residents," and added, "If more people participate in the Hometown Love Donation, we expect to create a brighter and healthier future for the county through more projects."
