Renewing Outfits and Doing Groceries!

In Lipaya, on June 10, the community had the opportunity to buy clothing and food products at affordable prices.  The use of second-hand clothes contributes to the care of the environment, reduces your carbon footprint (CO2), prolongs the useful life of garments, saves money, and gives an original touch to your closet. In addition, through the link with the Food Bank, food suitable for human consumption is rescued, benefiting communities in need.
