This Saturday, June 25, the Zénith de Dijon is teeming with Secours Populaire volunteers. Everyone is busy setting up books, CDs, DVDs, video games and other toys that have not been sold in FNAC stores in recent months. These products from all over France will be sold off for the benefit of the charity association in the Côte-d’Or department.
7,500 beneficiaries of Secours populaire in Côte-d’Or
Last year, the operation had brought in more than 137,000 euros, a sum then allocated for the departures on vacation of the families supported by the Secours populaire. This year, the deputy director of the association in Côte-d’Or hopes for even more, especially as the needs increase. Currently the Secours populaire helps 7,500 people in Dijon and in these other branches of the department, the number of beneficiaries could reach 8,000 by the end of the year.
The sale opens from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Zénith de Dijon.
