The Iceland store in Guia wanted to support children’s charity ACCA at this busy time of the year, and staged a food collection drive for the week running up to 20 December. The result? Two huge boxes of essentials were gathered together by Iceland customers along with donations that topped the €100 mark and gifts for kiddies.
ACCA president Wanda Crawford, was delighted with the response to the appeal: “The community here on the Algarve never fails to amaze me,” she said. “The generosity shown, especially at a time when there are so many calls for help, is wonderful.”
The foodstuffs and presents have now been taken to Akredita, the Quarteira-based organisation, for distribution amongst poverty-stricken families.
