[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Senior civil servants in Jangan-gu, Suwon participated in a sharing campaign on the 13th, donating their disaster basic income to those facing hardship due to COVID-19.

The sharing campaign is organized by the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea and sponsored by Suwon City. It allows donors to select and support those in need, including small business owners, unemployed youth, and low-income earners struggling due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Any resident can contribute by depositing funds into the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea's donation account or placing donations in collection boxes installed at the district office and each dong administrative welfare center.

Donation receipts can be issued by submitting a completed application form via email (suw@chest.or.kr) or fax (0303-3261-2113), or by submitting it to a nearby dong administrative welfare center.

Jangan-gu District Chief Lee Byung-gyou said, "Although it is not a large sum, I hope this charitable donation movement to help those in need with my first-ever disaster basic income spreads widely, and that we all have brighter days free from COVID-19 as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, the district plans to launch a donation relay starting with the senior civil servants' disaster basic income contributions, enabling all employees to participate voluntarily.
