For nearly three years, a team of volunteers, comprised of community advisors to the head of the Matushkino district administration and concerned residents, has collected and delivered over 3.5 tons of humanitarian aid to hospitals in Moscow and the Moscow region. Trips are organized monthly. Typically, about 100 kilograms of essential supplies are delivered per visit, but in some cases, the shipment can reach 500 kilograms.
Volunteers not only deliver packages to the wards, but also communicate with participants in the special military operation (SMO) and try to provide them with moral support.
On December 24, a package containing New Year's gifts was delivered to one of the hospitals: holiday food, socks knitted by community members, and other items needed by the heroes.
This isn't the first time volunteers have organized holiday visits to soldiers. For example, during Maslenitsa, they worked with members of the Zelenograd Administrative District's Young Guard and the youth chamber to bake and deliver pancakes to the hospital, giving the soldiers a little bit of home warmth along with the treat.
How to become part of the team
A group of approximately 50 people was created in Matushkino in February 2023. The community recently won the "Capital Stories" competition, which aimed to recognize individuals and organizations that provide pro bono support to SVO participants and civilians in Russia's new territories. The Zelenograd group successfully completed a two-stage selection process among 1,300 applicants.
Those interested in joining the team and collecting humanitarian aid can bring it to the Matushkino Museum, located in Zelenograd, building 161. More information about the volunteers' activities and the team's contact information can be found aton the website of the administrationMatushkino district of Zelenograd Administrative Okrug.
