Lok Seva Kendra [LSK] at Don Bosco Chhotaudepur in collaboration with the Mother Theresa Missionaries of Charity nuns Vadodara, conducted the Helping Hands Clothes Distribution Drive on 10 December 2021. As winter begins there are many in need of warm clothes. This drive was initiated in order to donate used and unused clothes to the needy and to develop social concern in schools and colleges.

All the clothes were picked up from drop in locations of Vadodara city and were collected by the nuns. Thus, the LSK team reached out to poor and needy around the villages of Chhotaudepur, to share their grief amidst the ongoing pandemic. The main intent of the drive was to help those who lost their livelihood amidst the ongoing pandemic and to contribute to the marginalised communities of Harijans, Dhanaks, Nayakas, those who play instruments at funerals and the exploited.

Everyone’s humble contribution in the donation made it fruitful and meaningful, as the underprivileged accepted the clothes.
