Amovate has used cash from its Charity Fund to purchase–from an Aljezur business–a brand new washing machine to donate to the St Vincent de Paul Society for use by a needy local family chosen by the Society.
This followed a request for assistance by the Society as they seek to make life a little more comfortable for families in the area badly hit by the recession.
Also, following these discussions with the Society, Amovate will be buying bedding and blankets to the value of €200 for distribution to some of the area’s neediest families.
The photograph shows officers of the St Vincent de Paul Society receiving the washing machine from Amovate President Peter Johnson.
The Society has also asked us to make it known not just to our members but also to the people of Vale da Telha—already well respected by the local Portuguese population for their generosity to good causes—that they would greatly appreciate further donations in this regard.
Apparently there is a real need right across the district for warm, clean bedding, sheets, blankets, duvets, pillows, pillow cases to be distributed to families who simply do not have these basic essentials for making their lives more comfortable.
If you have any of these items you can spare and would like to donate to a really good cause, to people who would truly appreciate the gifts for themselves and their children, please contact:
