Christmas time is a difficult time for many people. Local charities are all in full swing right now and all need your help in many different ways.
The Javea Connect group gets full of appeals and it is sometime hard for people to know what they can do and where they should go to help those in need. So this article has been written to help… hopefully, both the givers and receivers of the Christmas Spirit.
To list them all would be a major task, so on this occasion, we are going to list appeals for items such as food, clothing and toys and at the base of the article, there is a link which will take you to many of the charitable associations that run in our area, so that you can see for yourself, just how many people are working for worthy causes.
So here, in alphabetical order, is a list of three major activities going on right now and details of how you can help make a difference to so many people.
Franciscan Shelter in Gandia
For a few euros you can contribute to the ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE. Almost 70 destitute, physically disabled, mentally challenged or terminally ill homeless misplaced souls depending on YOUR generosity to get through these winter months. The food items they need for the pantry aren’t expensive. I promise, it’s the staple basics that won’t have a huge impact on your shopping bill. You’ll barely notice! But they certainly will. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
