Many families in Hemiksem are experiencing rising living costs, making it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. To support these families, the Global Council, in collaboration with Tochtgenoten Hemiksem and Oxfam world shop, is organizing a collection of non-perishable food items.
The initiative runs during the 'Week of Resistance Against Poverty', from October 12 to 16. Residents are encouraged to contribute by collecting food in their neighborhoods or by donating unused groceries at the market on Wednesday, October 14. Long-lasting food items from home pantries can be donated, or people can purchase something extra from market vendors and bring it to the Global Council's stand.
Welfare group Tochtgenoten will ensure that the collected goods reach families in Hemiksem who are in urgent need. The organization highlights the importance of this solidarity action to assist the most vulnerable members of the community.
