SUNFLOWERS FOR UKRAINE & THE FREESHOP
During August, the raffle for Ukraine, organised by Hair & Beauty & Divas Boutique, was drawn. All prize winners have been notified individually by Charley. The raffle raised 576 Euros which will be used to buy groceries and essential supplies for the Free Shop which was originally scheduled to reopen in September.
However, a meeting of the organisers of the initiative was held recently and some decisions were made: Most of the Ukrainian families no longer need emergency help because they are either now working or have moved to a different area. There are only a few who still need help with toiletries, food, and clothing as we move into the colder season. So, it has been decided to make the shop available to other families in need. Also, it has been decided to have a one off summer clothes sale at the Free Shop on Saturday 17th Sept from 10am to 4pm. Examples might be 5E for 5 items or 10E for 15 items. Obviously, families in need will still be able to come and collect what they want free of charge. Once the sale is over the many items will be transported to Los Angeles in Malaga or other charities you may wish to suggest. All funds raised will be used to continue buying food/toiletries or may be used to help specific families.
There has been an overwhelming response from everyone in our community and thanks must go to all of you for helping the Ukrainian refugees back on their feet after they arrived in our midst with very little.
Thank You Everyone!!
