Launched in 2006, it is Uijeongbu City’s flagship annual charitable event. For 100 days before the Lunar New Year holiday, it accepts voluntary donations from residents, institutions and organizations to help neighbors in need.

Donations can be made in cash or in kind, including rice, instant noodles, kimchi and briquettes. The money and goods collected will be distributed to neighbors in need and social welfare facilities and organizations in the area, in cooperation with the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea.

Residents, institutions and organizations wishing to participate can contact the city hall’s Welfare Policy Division, the Uijeongbu City Community Social Security Council, the welfare support divisions at the regional administrative offices, or their local community service center.

Mayor Kim Wongi said, “The 100 Days of Love Relay Baton Pass is a meaningful charitable event that has continued for many years thanks to the voluntary participation of residents. Many residents, institutions and organizations join each year to share their care for their neighbors, and I hope you will take part in this year’s warm act of giving as well.”
