Auchan Raises €4,000 and 5 Tons of Clothing for Stëmm vun der Strooss

During the end of-year-holiday season, a team from the checkout section of the Auchan hypermarket gift-wrapped many packages free-of-charge for the benefit of the Stëmm vun der Strooss association which supports the homeless and vulnerable people in our society.

The same group has done this for the past four years and, in addition, this year they organised a collection of second-hand clothes and amassed a total of 5 tons of clothes. As part of a solidarity day, volunteers Dominique Godin and Marie Paule Milton, accompanied by the director of the Stëmm Vun Der Strooss, Alexandra Oxacelay, were presented with a generous cheque worth €4,000.

Alexandra Oxacelay took the opportunity to thank the entire Auchan team for their actions and dedication throughout the year. In order to best present the activities of Stëmm vun der Strooss, the director invited all donors to a lunch in the social restaurant (7 rue de la Fonderie in Hollerich) which can take place once the current confinement is lifted. "What could be better than to talk about mutual aid and sharing over a good meal?" she stated.
