Story
As a small business, Citidogs are struggling to keep our heads above water in these trying times but we are managing to do this with the support & loyalty of our clients. Others have not been so fortunate. People have lost homes, jobs and loved ones and as we make tentative steps towards coming out of lockdown and back to some level of normality, there will be some people whose lives will never be the same again. It is important that these people are not forgotten about and that they are still cared for. Empty Kitchens, Full Hearts are a Leith-based charity, run entirely by volunteers. They have dished out over 90,000 meals across the capital during lockdown. They rely entirely on donations. Up until now, they have been relying on a borrowed van to help with this, which has now had to be returned to it's owner. They are not in a position to purchase a van and urgently need one for Sunday 19th July in order to keep up their good work. We have agreed to loan them one in the interim and then sell them a van and assist with a charity drive to help them pay for it. The van has been valued at £3300.00 and Citidogs has agreed to donate £800.00 towards this and cover any further shortfall in costs. We ask you all please just to dip into your pockets for this worthy cause. These are the people who have been plodding away tirelessly in the background, taking care of those who need them and will continue to do this until their work is done. They give so much and expect nothing in return. When people talk of the unsung heroes that have come out of this awful situation we find ourselves in, this could not be a better example.
