Christmas charity campaigns are still ongoing at Lahti City Library. Donate warm items this week or bring Christmas mail for the elderly next week.
At the library’s charity collection points, you can spread Christmas cheer and help in the following ways.
Donate Warmth by Knitting - Lahjoita lämpöä -campaign
Lahti City Library is participating in the Lahjoita lämpöä -campaign by A-Clinic Ltd and EHYT ry from September 2 to November 30, 2024, collecting mittens, gloves, and woolen socks for the homeless and others in need. Are you inspired to help by knitting, or do you have ready-made, unused knits to donate?
You can knit and donate woolen mittens, gloves, and socks for the collection! Bring your knits to the main library’s collection point by the end of November.
Send Christmas Mail to the Elderly - Joulupostia ikäihmisille -campaign
Joulupostia ikäihmisille -campaign invites residents to send Christmas cards to the elderly. Lahti City Library is participating in the campaign from November 4 to December 6, 2024. The campaign aims to share Christmas joy with the elderly, especially those who receive few holiday greetings. For some elderly people, this Christmas remembrance may be the only one they receive, making it even more significant in combating loneliness. The campaign is sponsored by the President of the Republic, Alexander Stubb.
You can participate in spreading Christmas joy by delivering a Christmas card to the main library’s collection point. Additionally, collection points can be found at the Ahtiala, Laune, Kärpänen, and Nastola branch libraries.
The campaign poster says, "Light up the darkness. Touch with a card."
