This year again, the municipality is keen to pamper its seniors for the Christmas holidays. Since yesterday and until tomorrow evening, nearly 5,000 Columérins over 65 years old are invited to come and collect the gourmet baskets at the Hall Comminges, on one of the three distribution days depending on the place of residence. In this gourmet basket, only local products. “We favor short circuits and promote our local shops. The basket contains products from the South-West, without preservatives”, indicates Arnaud Simion, first deputy mayor delegate for human solidarity who went to the Hall Comminges on Tuesday. Mayor Karine Traval-Michelet, during the preparation of the packages. If the residents of the Ephad were seen receiving their gift directly in their establishment, the operation mobilizes no less than 50 municipal agents, from the reception to the distribution of the baskets from December 1 to 3 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. at 18 o’clock. Offered to the entire senior population, the success is such that this year, there will be more beneficiaries than in 2020, i.e. more than three out of four retirees.
Initially planned in the festivities following the distribution of gourmet baskets, Christmas balls are canceled due to the development of the health crisis.
