« Each of you, in your own way, makes your contribution to ensuring that we live well in this territory. The CSC only exists because women and men like you rolled up their sleeves. I want to thank you for your commitment, for all the work you do and also for trusting me, for accompanying and supporting me in all actions and projects. »
She also paid tribute to Marie-Françoise Sainvet, who was involved in the social grocery store, the cooking workshops, the clothing exchange, the board of directors and many other sectors of the center. “ He is someone for whom I have a lot of admiration. »
« Each volunteer makes their contribution, she pointed out, depending on his available time. » Some on a regular basis like Bernard Mallais, a retired breeder, who comes to Parenthese au Jardin every day to lend a hand. “ You carry human and social values, the solidarity that you implement generally allows families to live better. I made the choice to settle in this territory where I feel good and I think we will have the opportunity to meet again “, she concluded.
