HSBC Donates Stationary, Blankets And Food To NGO’s All Across Malta
The HSBC Malta Foundation has donated loads of essential items like food, quilts and stationary to NGOs all across the island to ensure that vulnerable people have access to “warmth and comfort”.
It has donated stationary, refillable and reusable water bottles, food for the Foodbank Lifeline Foundation and Caritas Malta, books for the ALS Malta bookshop, and quilts and blankets for shelters.
Fondazzjoni Sebħ also received a special donation of men’s clothing to distribute to those in need, while the Foodbank Lifeline Foundation and Caritas Malta were given food items, “addressing food insecurity and supporting families in need”.
The foundation also donated a selection of books to their bookshop, empowering the community through the joy of reading, in collaboration with ALS Malta.
Meanwhile, NGOs that will benefit from this initiative this winter season are YMCA, RISE Foundation, and Building Bridges for the upcoming Winter season.
