Pier Morocco, made donations of clothes, shoes or toys
Volunteers of the sport association support equipment are helping the poor for the winter. On the platform of Morocco, the blue container has a stock of clothing. Donation clothes in good condition are welcome.
In almost 18 years, since 1995, four volunteers Jean-Pierre, Louis, William and Rene were able to help thousands of poor. Installed dock Morocco, opposite the Harbour, their blue container hosts less well dressed. In crowded place, many boxes adorn the shelves. More or less filled with shoes, t-shirts, sweatshirts, socks. Recent addition sorely lacking, as well as men's shoes: Notice to generous donors! On the other hand, many hangers hang jackets, jackets, coats, all strong freshness is useful when installed outdoors in winter. Finally, a few boxes of toys for the younger ones, a cup of coffee for others.
"Anyone can give"
Volunteer, Jean-Pierre is, 6 hours a week. If it's not him, it's William, Rene. Or Louis, his brother, the original project. All under the auspices of the ASCE (Association Sportive of Mutual of Equipment). "Anyone can come to retrieve or clothing., But the priority is of course the homeless" says the volunteer. So just come to the same schedule in order to give. But no matter how "The goal is not to get rid of dirty clothes or holes but give to help," says he. And therefore "the smell of laundry on the clothes given is always a pleasure".
2,000 people per year
Difficult to predict the evolution of container that can "leave at any time." The place belongs indeed still the town hall, which can reuse the spot if necessary. However, given the "sad successfully" met over 2000 people each year, it would be a shame to lose one of the voluntary aid of the city. The current era should rather seek to develop.
