CSR Projects: Assistance, Care, Responsibility 

In January, Arricano shopping malls continued to implement socially important initiatives aimed at supporting the Ukrainian military, communities and city residents.
•    RayON shopping mall promptly responded to the heat crisis in Desnianskyi district and joined in supporting its residents who were left without electricity, water and heating during the difficult winter period. The necessary goods and drinks, including drinking water, cookies, tea, etc., as well as disposable utensils and necessary household materials, were transferred to the tent cities in Troieshchyna. The initiative became part of the systemic community support during January and continues in the future.
•    Prospekt shopping mall handed over a donation in the amount of UAH 100,000 in accordance with the request of the 101st Separate Security Brigade of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine named after Colonel-General Hennadii Vorobiov for the purchase of a large agrodron. Such a drone is able to deliver food, first aid kits and necessary things to the military in combat zones, to which there are no alternative ways of access.
•    In addition, UAH 101,000 were collected in Prospekt shopping mall during charitable performances of the Military Orchestra of the 101st Separate Security Brigade of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which were also aimed at supporting the needs of the military.
