Together for a Better Future: Sovicos Joins In
Sovicos, in partnership with HKV, participates in the sports food bank campaign in April. We aim to support our community by collecting non-perishable items. Your help is invaluable! Starting Thursday, March 21, you can easily contribute by donating products in the crates located in our clubhouse.
What Does the Food Bank Campaign Entail?
The food bank campaign is a national initiative that sports clubs join. April poses a challenge for food banks as stocks are often depleted after the holidays. Therefore, we unite with other sports clubs to gather non-perishable items for those in need.
Why Sovicos Is Participating?
It’s not only an opportunity to shine as a club but also to extend a helping hand to our community. The food bank campaign enhances the camaraderie and pride within our club, as we rally behind a noble cause.
