The OKKO gas station network, together with its customers, is increasing the volume of collection of used items for socially vulnerable groups.

In early August, specially equipped containers were installed at 7 more filling stations of the company. And Zaporizhzhia was added to the list of cities where you can now leave items.

Thus, used items are now collected at OKKO in 7 cities of Ukraine: in addition to Zaporizhzhia, also in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Mariupol. Public organizations - «Emaüs-Oselia», «Ukraina bez mezh», «Dobryi samarianyn» and «Pomohaemo» - help the OKKO network to collect, sort and distribute items for free among those in need. The main recipients of assistance are homeless people, residents of boarding schools, geriatric institutions, and hospice patients.

«In the first half of 2020, we have already collected a record volume of items - almost 177 tons, but we hope that thanks to the expansion of the collection geography and the care of our customers, we will be able to exceed this result already in the second half of the year, - comments Yaroslav Polyakova, head of the corporate communications department of the OKKO network. - We are convinced that there is never too much good deeds».
