This event was organized by the North Gyeongsang Community Chest of Korea (Chairman Jeon Wooheon) with support from the North Gyeongsang Provincial Government. Its purpose was to foster a province-wide atmosphere of participation in overcoming the low birthrate crisis.

The demonstration was attended by Yoo Jeonggeun, Acting Mayor of Yeongju City, Son Byungil, Secretary General of the North Gyeongsang Community Chest of Korea, Jeong Okhee, Head of the Sharing Volunteer Group, as well as relevant public officials and citizens.

Yeongju City became the first among the 22 cities and counties in North Gyeongsang Province to install a donation kiosk. This demonstration marks a meaningful step in leading the digital transformation of the donation culture, under the message "Small acts of sharing create great miracles."

During the event, the operation and donation procedures of the kiosk were demonstrated, and attendees experienced the digital donation system, which allows for easy, contactless participation using credit cards, debit cards, and simple payment methods.

The donation kiosk supports only electronic payments instead of cash and is equipped with a touch screen so that anyone can easily make a donation. It is expected that this will enable citizens to naturally practice sharing in their daily lives.

Son Byungil, Secretary General of the North Gyeongsang Community Chest of Korea, stated, "The low birthrate issue is not simply a matter of population decline, but a crucial challenge directly linked to the sustainability of our society."

"I hope that the donation kiosk, which started in Yeongju, will gather the warm hearts of citizens and help more children grow up with hope," he added.

Jeong Okhee, Head of the Yeongju City Sharing Volunteer Group, said, "Even a small donation, when given with sincerity, can change someone's life. I hope that each citizen's participation will become the seed for overcoming the low birthrate and the driving force for making Yeongju a warmer community."

Yoo Jeonggeun, Acting Mayor of Yeongju City, emphasized, "The fundraising campaign to overcome the low birthrate is not just about donations; it is an investment in hope for future generations. The warm interest and participation of Yeongju citizens will greatly contribute to overcoming the low birthrate crisis."

Yeongju City plans to continue working with the North Gyeongsang Community Chest of Korea to promote a variety of social contribution programs that citizens can easily participate in as part of their daily lives.
