Like every year since 2020, the town hall is organizing its “A gift for all” operation with the aim of offering gifts to the most deprived. For 2024, 271 packages could be created.
It is time to reap the fruit of collective efforts. Every year since 2020, Carcassonne town hall has organized its “A gift for all” operation. The goal: during a defined period, citizens are invited to deliver a gift to the social action center which will then be sent to partner associations.
In 2024, they had until December 17 to make their donation. As usual, Les Restos du Coeur, Aude Urgence Accueil, Saint-Vincent de Paul, The Red Cross, ATD Fourth World and Les Petits Frères des Pauvres responded. They came this Wednesday to collect the packages collected to redistribute them to disadvantaged people. “Whether it is children, homeless people or even lonely nursing home residents who have been offered 140 greeting cards by the municipal council”specified Marie-Aude Montussac, deputy delegate for social affairs.
We simply indicate whether they are intended for children or adults
In the hall of town hall, the associations were able to collect 271 packages, of which they “don’t know the content”as noted by the president of the Red Cross, Monique Granara. “For our part, we know what the nature of the gifts is,” said Elodie Letao, deputy delegate for educational success. “We simply indicate whether they are intended for children or adults.”
