\"BuyRotary Club Sofia International purchased supplies for the \u201cBuy and Donate\u201d initiative organized by Rotaract clubs in Sofia. This year’s Christmas edition in Sofia was held the weekend before the holidays in Metro Mladost and was organized by Rotaract Club Sofia Vitosha-Izgrev<\/a>, Rotaract Club Sofia-Serdika<\/a> and Rotaract Club Sofia-Tangra<\/a> with the support of Interact Club Sofia-Tangra FELS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u201cBuy and Donate\u201d campaign has been helping disadvantaged people with food for almost 15 years. The idea is to buy food and long term products to support people in need.<\/p>\n

Our friends and members of Rotary Club Sofia International: Hristina, Slavena, Tatyana, Anders, Linda, Claude, Inna, Stamen, Svetozar, Ani, Grant, Tristan and Julie personally donated funds to the collective value of 1220 BGN.<\/p>\n

Ani, Linda and Grant went to Metro on Saturday to purchase most of the items and a later purchase was done by our Rotaract members Radina and Nevena.<\/p>\n

The total outcome of the project from our club and our Rotaract Club is:
\n32 kg Lentils
\n32 kg Rice
\n84 kg Flour
\n32 kg Beans
\n12 kg Couscous
\n12 kg Macaroni
\n9 kg Spaghetti
\n40 L Sunflower oil
\n216 pcs of Sweets
\n48 packages of Biscuits
\n100 pcs Waffles
\n7.5 kg Pasta<\/p>\n

Large cans for cooking: 
\n20.40 kg Tomato sauce
\n25.44 kg Sweet corn
\n19.20 kg Green peas
\n15.30 kg Mushrooms<\/p>\n

In the end the \u201cBuy and Donate\u201d initiative collected over 1,200 kg of food products (legumes, flour, pasta, canned food, sweets, etc.), which have already managed to delight visitors to the social kitchen of the Church of St. Ilia in the Druzhba neighborhood of Sofia and family-type accommodation centers in cities of Borovan, Vratsa and Mezdra.<\/p>\n

The generous contribution of our members definitely assisted many less privileged people in our community to experience some Christmas Cheer!<\/p>\n

Thank you! Happy holidays! \ud83c\udf84<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
