AIESEC is running for De Voedselbanken
Donation protected
Hey you!
The past two months have certainly not been what you imagined a couple of months ago. You might have been on an AIESEC project but needed to travel back to your home country, or you just got accepted for a project this summer and can now no longer go. As a member you might have been spending a lot of time together with your team, your VP, and your LC, but now we all need to work from home and most of our operations have been put down till the beginning of September. We can imagine that this has been a tough moment for you, but hope that you, your friends, and family are safe and healthy.
However, this is also a time in which we as AIESEC can help our local communities and support people who need it the most. Therefore, we decided that it was time for all of us to take action together with all the local committees, the national committee, the exchange participants, and AIESEC alumni!
De Voedselbank is having a hard time these months, since people can no longer donate small quantities of food (due to the 1,5 meter rule they do not have the means to check and distribute the food they receive from individuals). This results in a shortage of shelf-stable products such as pasta. Families that make use of De Voedselbank, have a budget of around 40-50 euros per week and therefore receiving a smaller food package influences their financial situation tremendously. Soooo we will help De Voedselbank by raising money so that they can buy the products that they are now short on, and thereby make sure that everyone gets the food package they need.
For that reason, on the 10th of June AIESEC in the Netherlands will run as much kilometers together (let’s aim for a huge amount!!) for De Voedselbank (be bold, challenge yourself)!. Afterwards, let your friends and family know that you will be running this amount of km on the 10th of June so that they can sponsor you via this website. Every 5 euros equals a food package, so let's see how many food packages we can donate :).
