In the upcoming days a collection of material needs for people in Ukraine will take place in Salesian Centres all over Slovakia. For easy sorting, each centre has a specific type of supplies that you can bring to it (see details below). The aid will then be transported to the warehouse in Prešov, where 18 tons of food and hygiene items worth a total of €36,000 were already transported last weekend. The following items were sent: rice and buckwheat, ready meals (soups, salads, etc.), canned food (vegetables, meat, etc.), food for children (baby formulas and food), oil and sugar, and hygienic items (shower gels, shampoos, soaps, toothpaste, toothbrushes). Thanks to all who support the efforts of the Salesian family with prayers, financially or direct help.
