Support to homeless living on the street, together with LG!
Ithaca and LG, for the 8th year in a row, stood next to our homeless people who live on the streets, in an action of particular importance, as the weather conditions of the season create enormous vulnerability for these people.
On the evening of Wednesday, December 13, Ithaca’s team, along with LG employees, equipped themselves with mood and the necessary kits that were distributed to those in need. This year unfortunately, the needs were particularly high, as those sleeping and living outside were significantly more than last year.
In total, 70 reusable waterproof bags with gloves, hat, thermal socks, thermal shirt, collar and fleece blanket were distributed. At the same time, apart from the necessary goods we distributed, we made sure to be next to our fellow human beings, discussing and listening to their needs, offering them our smile and support.
