The event invited major donors who resonated with Gokseong County's representative designated donation projects, such as "Give a Pediatric Clinic to Gokseong" and "Village Laundry Room for Seniors." Donors expressed great interest in the videos and updates related to these designated donations.

CEO Ahn Jaehyun stated, "As someone who has also raised children, I know how difficult it must be for local young people to raise kids without a pediatric clinic. I am truly happy to contribute to creating a pediatric clinic that Gokseong’s children can visit when they are sick. This is why I choose to donate."

CEO Yoon Heejung said, "As I grow older, I am proud to donate to such a meaningful project for seniors who are like parents to me. I will definitely donate again next year."

Gokseong County Governor Cho Sangrae remarked, "The heartfelt generosity of those who participated in the donations is shaping the future of Gokseong," adding, "That dedication is being realized in the pediatric clinic that protects children's smiles and health, the animal shelter that gives new life to abandoned animals, and the village laundry rooms that bring comfort and warmth to the daily lives of seniors."

He continued, "The participation and trust of each and every donor are driving forces for Gokseong’s further development. We will responsibly utilize the donations so that they contribute to the happiness of all residents."

Through this event, the county honored the noble intentions of participants in the Hometown Love Donation Program and shared that the donations are being effectively used to expand the region's welfare, health, and living infrastructure. Moving forward, the county plans to continue fostering a culture of gratitude and respect for donors and to promote the value of warm-hearted sharing throughout the community through various initiatives.
