Send a
Food box
to Romania this Christmas

2007 Appeal launched
Closing date Monday 5th November

Our Food Box Appeal enables everyone to make a difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in Romania and it’s very easy to do!

A donation of £15.50 will allow a food box containing : 3 kg sugar 2 kg rice 2 ltr sunflower oil 1 kg noodles 250g dried soup 1 can brown beans 200g cocoa 500 g margarine, 3 kg washing powder, 3 candles 2 toilet soaps 1 bottle shampoo to be delivered to a poor family this Christmas.

Romania may now be part of the EU, but for many ordinary Romanians things are still getting harder!

Regrettably the price of the food parcels has had to increase this year. This is due to the fact that Romania is now in the EU, so VAT has to be charged on both contents and transport, and so called “custom free” (and therefore cheaper) rice and sugar cannot be used.

How the Food box Appeal Works

Put the following in an envelope :

1. £15.50 - cheques should be made out to “Romania Care”
2. A Christmas card - the Romanian for Merry Christmas is Craciun Fericit
3. If you are a UK tax payer, you may wish to include the gift aid declaration from the bottom of this sheet enabling the charity to claim back the tax on your donation. That way £15.50 becomes nearl £20 at no extra cost to yourself!
4. You may like to include a family photo with contact details - people do occasionally receive replies, although they are normally in Romanian!

Either send the envelope to Romania Care (address above) or give it to your local collector to pass on to us. All envelopes must be with us by Monday 5th November 2007.
