“At the Red Cross branch in Hagondange, in order not to be too exposed to the Covid-19 virus, we have decided to leave volunteers over 70 years old behind, which has the effect of reduce our workforce to the skin of grief, ”sighs Sylvie Szkudlarek, the manager.
A new mode of operation concerning food distribution has been imagined. It takes place on Tuesday and Friday, by appointment only and limited to two people simultaneously, respecting all barrier gestures.

“However, at the same time, for people unable to move, we have provided deliveries to Amnéville, Rombas, Rosselange, Moyeuvre-Grande and other localities in the Orne valley”, recalls Sylvie Szkudlarek .

Important donations
“Fortunately, we are not alone and we talk with the CMS, the UDAF of Metz and Thionville, the Secours Catholique, the Restos du Cœur and the CCAS in Hagondange, while the Leclerc stores in Amnéville and Super U in Talange offer us many commodities. Let us also underline the actions of schools such as the Lycée Julie-Daubié in Rombas, which donates a large amount of food to us while we get our supplies twice a week from the Food Bank. “

Unfailing solidarity
At the request of the CCAS and with the Restos du Cœur d’Hagondange, in collaboration with the U store in Talange, 123 packages have been delivered since the start of the year, to the homes of elderly people in the city.
Operation Coup de Cœur in the city with the help of the Food Bank made it possible to compose 1,223 food packages to help 806 people from 321 different families. Likewise, many parcels were sent to families staying at the hotel in Ennery and Talange.
Sylvie underlines: “Solidarity is not unique to the Red Cross because mobilization requires awareness of each of us. “
