People should help each other in times of need. Everyone knows that expression. Unfortunately, this year has given us another opportunity to truly test how we live up to this saying. And it must be said that the employees of the Veterinary Research Institute faced it head-on. When heavy rains caused severe flooding in the Czech Republic, particularly in northern Moravia, we didn’t hesitate and filled our “box of help” with essential items – non-perishable food and cleaning supplies – which we sent to those in need through the Food Bank at the end of September.
Another reason to show solidarity with those facing hardship is the approaching winter. Life on the streets is far from easy, so we organized another collection — now a tradition — called “Socks for the Homeless”. As in previous years, the response exceeded the organizers' expectations, and we managed to fill a car for our partner, the charity in Brno, with numerous bags, handbags, boxes, packages, shoes, blankets, backpacks and more. We hope these contributions will make a difference!
We are deeply grateful to everyone who offers their support, as well as to those who organize the assistance.
