Three special collection points for targeted aid for participants in the Special Military Operation (SMO) and residents of new territories have opened in Moscow's Southern Administrative District (SAO). They opened on December 1 as part of the "Winter in Moscow" festival. The points are located near skating rinks in the Nagatinsky Zaton, Donskoy, and Tsaritsyno districts. All collected aid will be sent to orphanages, hospitals, and military units.
Where and how you can help
Branded humanitarian aid collection points are located near the skating rinks at 20 Kolomenskaya Embankment; 2 Zagorodnoye Shosse; and also near the skating rink in Sosenki Park on Kavkazsky Boulevard. These collection points accept new items: clothing and footwear for all ages, stationery, New Year's gifts and toys for children, medical supplies, protective equipment, ammunition, and hygiene kits for soldiers. A full list of necessary items is available atvolunteer website.
At each location, a space has been set up where people can write letters of well-wishes to the soldiers, and children can draw pictures for them. All messages will be sent along with the collected humanitarian aid.
Ongoing support
The Southern Administrative Okrug prefecture and the interregional public organization "Volunteers" initiated the establishment of these centers. Since the beginning of the Second World War, its volunteers have been delivering humanitarian aid to military personnel and residents of the liberated regions.
Lists of essential items are being compiled in collaboration with the administrations of the new territories. Targeted aid is being sent to orphanages, shelters, hospitals, and frontline soldiers.
"We know that many city residents would like to help residents of the new regions. But not everyone can travel there. Therefore, collecting humanitarian aid is an opportunity for Muscovites to help the SVO participants and residents of the new territories," said Alexey Chebotarev, Head of the Organizational Department of the Southern Administrative District Prefecture.
On New Year's Eve, the Volunteers have two trips planned to deliver already collected packages. The drop-off points at the skating rinks will be open until February 28. As the packages are assembled, the volunteers will organize new humanitarian missions.
Winter in Moscow— the main event of the season. The project aims to strengthen social and family ties, create an atmosphere of unity and mutual support, and assist those currently defending the Motherland. Through a variety of programs, including cultural, educational, and sporting events, it brings together Muscovites and visitors of all ages and interests, creating an environment for creative development, active recreation, and warm communication. Particular attention is paid to supporting participants and veterans of the special military operation and their families, as well as all those providing assistance to the front.
