Here’s Everything That’s Gone Down At The Lovin Milied Challenge So Far
You are still in time to take part in the #LovinMiliedChallenge, with only one week left and hundreds of gift boxes needed.
Lovin Milied is Lovin Malta’s yearly initiative to gather festive boxes and distribute them to various local foundations, homes, and NGOs to help vulnerable people and animals in different categories.
With special thanks to Keepmeposted and Gasan Foundation, KMP is generously donating one box for every job listing on their site until December 20th and Gasan Foundation donated €500 worth of boxes.
We have received a bunch of donations and we are thrilled to announce that our target for Gift Box 1 – Mother & Baby has now been completed.
But we still need hundreds of boxes for the following categories:
