An event in their favor was held in Chelyabinsk. Read about this and other good news in the material of “Pravmir”.
In Chelyabinsk, two events were held at once: environmental and charitable. Residents of the city were offered to bring recyclable materials, as well as vegetables, fruits and other humanitarian aid.
In total, there were 13 collection points for recyclable materials. One of them hosted humanitarian aid for the homeless. Residents brought cereals, canned food, vegetables and fruits from vegetable gardens.
The environmental action took place after a long break caused by the pandemic.
“The weather, of course, influenced the situation, but despite the rain, many residents decided to participate in the action,” a representative of the “Let’s Do It!” NGO, Dmitry Zakarlyukin said.
All harvested vegetables and fruits will go to the mobile canteen of the social assistance center. Its employees feed the homeless in Chelyabinsk and Kopeisk. They visit five points by bus.

The charity event has not ended. Citizens will be able to bring warm clothes, hygiene supplies, and surplus from their gardens to the social assistance center.
