Seoul Metropolitan Government (Mayor Oh Se-hoon) is proposing a new model to expand the communication between donors and local communities and contribute to local development through the Hometown Love Donation System. This system aims to vitalize the local economy and improve the welfare of residents by providing necessary funds to local residents through donations and providing various gifts in return to donors.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government accumulates points based on the amount of donation, and allows the donors to choose from a variety of gift items, including local specialties and cultural products. Representative gift items include EM eco-friendly gift sets, handmade knives, and handmade sickles, and donors are given a range of choices to choose gifts according to their own tastes.

The process for requesting a gift after donation is also simple. Visit the official website of the Seoul City Hometown Love Donation System, select the desired gift, and apply with the points accumulated through the donation receipt. Through this, donors can experience local specialties and feel a deeper affection for the region.
