The objective of this solidarity initiative is to offer a warm Christmas to those who need it most. The collected donations will be entirely redistributed before the end-of-year holidays to the beneficiaries of the "Les Restos du Cœur" association in Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire and their children.
Participation is possible by dropping off food donations, toys, and books, new or in very good condition, at the three designated collection points. Accepted donations include toys, games, and books for children, baby food from 3 months (jars, hygiene products), and long-life dry goods such as canned goods, starches, dried vegetables, sugar, coffee, dry biscuits, chocolates, laundry detergent, and oil. Refrigerated products will not be accepted. Donations of wool and fabrics for creators are also welcome.
The collection points are the Médiathèque Ernest Labrousse (3 avenue Aristide Briand, 16300 Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire), open Tuesday to Saturday during opening hours (Tel. 05 45 78 30 70); the Headquarters of the Communauté de communes 4B sud Charente (1 route de l’ancienne gare, 16360 Touvérac), open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. (Tel.: 05 45 78 89 09); and the Reception of the Centre Hospitalier Sud Charente (Route de Saint-Bonnet, 16300 Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire), open Monday to Friday during opening hours (Tel.: 05 45 78 78 00).
