Thank You

A Message from the President of Amovate:

  I recently transported 4 more trays of dry goods and household essentials to the Charity we are supporting in these difficult times.

 My note today is to thank Amovate members and non-members for supporting this cause by donating these goods, as we are told they are very much appreciated.

 It’s difficult to assess exactly how long the stay at home regime will continue, but as a guess it’s going to be a few weeks more.

 Amovate wants to continue to help the less fortunate and their families in these difficult times and ask that if you would like to help and donate goods, they can be left any day at the Restaurante Fonte do Vale in the box in their porch.

 Once again thank you for your kind donations so far, and also to Sofia and David at the Fonte for helping and storing the deposited goods.

 Ian Bedford

2nd Delivery of Fresh Fruit & Veg

Amovate once again donate towards the much needed cause organised by the Sociedade São Vincente de Paulo in Aljezur, helping in these difficult times. Dry food stuff and household essentials are much in demand, and if you would like to donate, there is a box in the porch at the Fonte do Vale Restaurante. Every little donation is always gratefully received and much needed.

Here is a letter of thanks from the Society:

1st Delivery of Goods for the Needy in Aljezur

Today we took 7 trays of food as well as bottles of water, cartons of milk and household goods to the Charity Amovate helps support in Aljezur.

 To say they were truly grateful is an understatement, and it’s clear that they are so pleased to receive these goods.

 Amovate President, Ian Bedford, has received a voice message from the contact at the Charity and this is what she has said….

“Good Morning, my name is Fernanda, on behalf of myself and the Conference of Nossa Senhora da Alva we would like to thank everyone for their attitude and what they have done for us. In particular to all those we have assisted – these people who require our consideration, our friendship and our commitment in these troubled times.

At other times too but specifically now in this Pandemic, thank you for your Gifts.

 I am grateful and I am sure that everyone who receives them will also be so.

 I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  Keep Safe, and God bless you and may He protect you”.

Well done to all the people who have already donated……If you would like to help,  the collection point at the Restaurante Fonte do Vale is open from 12:00 – 21:00 hours and goods can be placed in the box inside the porch of the restaurant.
