The donation campaign organized by “Circle K Latvia” has ended, as a result of which the company attracted a donation of 35,716.80 euros to the association “Tavi draugi”. The society will direct the donated funds to the needs of the Lviv organization “Народна Самооборона Львівщини”, providing support to Ukrainian citizens who suffered in the attacks, as well as providing equipment and equipment to the soldiers on the front.
“Our Ukrainian colleagues, volunteers in Lviv and elsewhere in Ukraine have been working tirelessly since 2014, so they know who and what kind of support is most urgently needed. The needs of soldiers at the front are specific, because they need equipment that cannot be purchased by everyone, such as drones, cars, medical devices and other things necessary for the operation of war hospitals. The first shipment with donations made up of a part of the amount donated by “Circle K” will soon be on its way to Ukraine,” says Ulvis Novik, head of the “Your Friends” association.
During the campaign from April 1 to 21, when customers purchased a coffee drink at any “Circle K” gas station in Latvia, “Circle K” donated 10 cents from each purchased drink to the association. As Armands Žubulis, retail director of Circle K Latvia, says: “This campaign is proof of how much we as a society can achieve to support others. Thank you to every customer who stopped by for a coffee, participated and supported this initiative. We are also grateful that the joint donation will allow us to help Ukrainian soldiers at the front with constantly needed equipment and resources.”
According to the association, support for Ukraine is still relevant and important. The needs of the military and civilians change with the seasons, but donations are always needed for sleeping bags, quick food, comfortable men’s clothing, and hygiene items for adults and children. “Unfortunately, the war in Ukraine continues – the activity of donors is decreasing, but there are still many needs. That is why we are touched by the activity of the participants of the “Circle K” charity campaign and are grateful for every euro donated. This is a significant donation that will allow us to continue helping the victims of the attacks in Ukraine citizens and soldiers at the front,” adds Ulvis Noviks.
“Your Friends” provides support to Ukraine in cooperation with the Lviv organization “Народна Самооборона Львівщини”, providing civilians and soldiers with everyday necessities, including comfortable clothing, easy and quick food and other essential goods on demand and according to the season.
