The Community Chest of Korea (Chairman Kim Byungjoon) announced that it will conduct a special fundraising campaign from July 18 to August 17 to support victims and affected regions suffering from the record-breaking torrential rains that have continued since mid-July.
The Community Chest of Korea plans to use the donations collected through this special campaign promptly for practical purposes, including emergency relief for disaster victims, temporary housing and livelihood support, and recovery efforts in the affected areas.
