Give to the community of Thiviers by donating to L'HanGare, a new community center in the heart of Thiviers. Help them get a bicycle-powered merry-go-round!

What is L'HanGare? These past three years, Charlotte’s parents Kris & Annemie, along with a committed group of volunteers, have invested a huge amount of time and money into starting a community center in Thiviers out of an abandoned rail yard hangar. It's called L'HanGare, the name is a play on words with the French words "hangar" for hangar, and "gare" for station. The organization is a non-profit managed by a board of volunteers. L'HanGare is able to offer a “third space” beyond home and work where people can congregate over coffee, wellness classes, festivals, and co-working space. Charlotte and Isaiah have seen first hand how this space brings together people of all ages and backgrounds and strengthens the social fabric of the community. You can learn more about it on their website https://www.hangare.eu/.

We'll have one of the celebration events at L'HanGare! We will be hosting the Saturday potluck at L'HanGare after the farmer’s market in Thiviers so everyone will get a chance to see it and congregate together for a communal meal.

What will the donation help? The Board of the HanGare has decided that they would like to make their space more kid-friendly by investing in a bicycle-powered merry-go-round! It would provide an activity for children and adults alike. Any additional funds will go towards helping the HanGare expand their offerings to help them become financially self-sufficient. Below are some more photos of the space to help you understand what goes on there!
