Collecting Items for Ukraine

Collecting Items for Ukraine

On Saturday 9th of April, we together with Rotarians and Welzijn Scheveningen joined our forces to help Ukraine.

Part of our team was standing in front of two grocery stores to ask people to buy food or other goods, such as diapers, soaps, candles and matches, for Ukraine.

Others were driving the van to collect the goods and to sort them in different boxes so that in the later stage it’s easier to find what you’re looking for.

The people doing groceries were very generous and all in all, we collected 95 boxes!!

On Monday, the boxes were delivered from Den Haag to Nieuw Vennep where they were loaded into trucks by Stichting Holland-Oekraine, a foundation transporting goods from the Netherlands to Ukraine.

The boxes reached their final destination in Ukraine on the 19th of April.

Thank you to everyone who participated!
