Announcement Feed with Jin Donation Drive for World Central Kitchen: Powered By reddit Community Funds - matched up to $7777!

UPDATE! WE DID IT! Goal met and exceeded! We are currently at $7,787!

You guys are honestly amazing. I know I speak for the other mods when I say we are blown away by your generosity and so proud of this sub. And I know that Jin would be proud of you too! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for donating and sharing and being the wonderful humans you are!

The drive will remain open until July 9, so if you want to continue to donate and share, please do!

๐Ÿ’œ Borahae, ARMY! ๐Ÿ’œ


ARMY is a force, right? Our fandom has a history of supporting important causes on a global scale, and we want to continue that tradition by raising funds for World Central Kitchen in honor of Jinโ€™s homecoming and 2024 FESTA!

What is World Central Kitchen?


World Central Kitchen (WCK) is a global organization that helps provide food during humanitarian, climate, and community crises. From providing fresh meals to refugees in Ukraine, Gaza, and Palestine to feeding those displaced due to historic flooding in Brazil and wildfires across the US, WCK is helping lead the way to ensure people worldwide receive fresh, nutritious meals in the wake of disaster.

We are not 7 with you


To celebrate Jinโ€™s return and to commemorate the 11th anniversary of BTS, our goal is to raise $7,777 to support WCK in their efforts. To assist in meeting that goal and beyond, we are proud to announce that our donation drive will be powered by Reddit Community Funds, which has generously agreed to match eligible donations up to $7,777*.

Donation drive will end July 9, 2024, on ARMY day. The day BTS gave us our name and we started our path to 'ARMY Forever, BTS Forever."

(*Reddit will match up to $7,777 of eligible donations made to Tiltify fundraiser(s) run by r/bangtan for the World Central Kitchen by July 9, 2024 with a matching donation to the World Central Kitchen via Tiltify.

*Offer valid only on donations made to the Tiltify r/bangtan fundraiser(s) and does not include donations made to individual charities, charity campaigns, the donation of securities, P2P or third-party events, API donations, and the purchase or redemption of gift cards.)

Donated!!I I'm sure we'll meet the goal. Is it possible to enter only for the army made merch? I own the albums already so I'm sure someone else out there would appreciate those more.

I canโ€™t afford the albums so the albums are very welcome to me! There are more poor BTS fans than you think. Iโ€™m not just coming on to complain. I decided between an album or this

We did it! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Thank you to the fantastic mods, amazing ARMYs, hard-working Word Central Kitchen and generous Reddit Community Fund. Could a talented ARMY create a visual we could share on social media?

(And have we added this project to the One In An Army charity map already?)

u/whyohwhy115 I miss Kim Seokjin Jul 04 '24

the fundraiser doesn't end until July 9th! And OIAA requires that it is already completed before adding to the map

Thank you for organizing this! I literally donated without reading the whole post and didn't realize there was a giveaway lol. Guess that means I'll just have to donate again.. oh no........

I mean...you are of course welcome to donate as much as you like, but this comment is enough to be entered into the giveaway!

u/alleybetwixt Jun 20 '24

Huge appreciation to the Mods for putting this together!! It's a really beautiful gesture. Also nice that Reddit Community Funds joined in with some matching support.

I've had the great privilege in my life of extremely rarely struggling with food uncertainty/access, but I've had to evacuate my home multiple times for wildfire disaster reasons and those times have been powerful reminders of how quickly food becomes the top priority beyond the sheer GTFO survival mode. All people and organizations providing meal support for displaced folks are angels as far as I'm concerned. If you don't have food, not much else matters. If you have food, you can handle just about anything.

Immensely grateful for the work World Central Kitchen does! And grateful to r/bangtan and ARMYs for this effort!

Comment removed for non-constructive negativity. They are definitely not reading this post. However you can politely reach out to their management directly if you would like to ask them to donate. Thanks.
