Helping the elderly The Magyar Máltai Szeretetszolgálat (Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta) was established as a homeless shelter in 2010 to provide temporary accommodation for 40 elderly convalescent patients. Patients receive treatment for various ailments such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, COPD, renal failure and others. Ten volunteers from Aspen Hungary’s office enthusiastically collected clothing, linen, blankets and other necessities and handed these donations to the very grateful staff at the shelter. In addition, they cleaned and painted two of the rooms and also provided a nutritious lunch for the highly appreciative patients and staff.
Aspen Italy
Repacking food for thousands From 9 to 23 July, Aspen Italy’s 41 employees volunteered to assist the Associazione Banco Alimentare Onlus – Via Legnone in Milan for the second consecutive Mandela Day. Their time at Banco Alimentare was spent sorting and packing surplus food products provided by the local food industry. This food is then redistributed to non-profit organisations in 13 regions across Italy to meet the needs of the impoverished. In this manner, Banco Alimentare feeds more than 103 000 people each year.
