Great News!!
An update for you all, the Restaurante Fonte do Vale have offered to supply the vegetables for the meal for the 22 Families which is a fantastic gesture…..We are still collecting other goods and as the item below will be till Sunday 20th December. Non Perishable Food Gifts at Restaurante Fonte Do Vale.
………………………………….
I must start this note by first of all thanking both Members and Non Members of Amovate for their donations made to one of our charities – St Vincent de Paul Society continually since May. Your generosity has been overwhelming and all who receive these goods are extremely grateful and thankful.
Amovate has agreed to donate €250 for the Charity to purchase Bacalau for 22 families in Aljezur to help them enjoy a traditional Christmas meal and of course the goods donated by yourselves will help the cause, and ensure a substantial meal for all.
Hopefully I can now ask for one big effort towards the Christmas period and maybe you could also donate some little special foods – sweets, chocolates etc. to brighten up the families in this exceptionally difficult time.
We would like to ask that whatever gifts of food you give, it is left at the Fonte prior to the 20th December to give time for sorting and distribution.
Finally, a Special Thanks to Sofia and David at the Fonte for fronting these special collections and making sure the goods stay safe and dry, and of course as stated before, to all that have donated so far….Perhaps you could mention this effort to friends and cajole them into making a donation as well.
Kind Regards and Stay Safe
Ian Bedford, President of Amovate.
