Warmth in Every Bag
How volunteers and partners support the elderly through the Healthy Food Basket project.
Volunteering isn't always about big events or loud actions. Often it exists within quite gestures - in a devoted bag filled with produce, or in a kind word said on a porch. Exactly out of those moments is built the Healthy Food Basket project - one of the most heartwarming and important ones in the RVC work.
This project was created for supporting the elderly who ended up in rather hard life circumstances. They are the ones who are left all alone, who live with the limited budget, and who physically can't go out to buy groceries or cook themselves a dinner. Once a month our volunteers deliver them sets with organic, fresh produce and hot lunches, and last but not least, they also give them attention, communication, and a feeling of belonging.

On July 27th, we did another round of delivery within the project. Thanks to those who were ready to help, we are able to organize this whole thing. And now we want to express our utmost gratitude towards our partners:
- Papas Greens @microgreen.md,
- Crocus Life @crocus.life,
- Brain Cafe @braincafe.md,
- Orhei Vit,
- Oliva @olivaristorante,
- Pastas @pastas.md.

The Healthy Food Basket project is a lively net of good deeds, where everyone can find their place. Caring companies, who donate the food, participate here, along with volunteer drivers, who deliver sets by car, and walking volunteers, who deliver everything by foot to get to the right door at the end.
We are certain - care is an act, and everybody can become a part of it.
If you are the company, which is ready to share the produce or lunches, or a volunteer with a car, or just a person with a kind heart, you are more than welcome to join the Healthy Food Basket project.
Your help could be that warmth that someone, currently, is lacking.
