On February 17, Arricano, a leading developer of shopping malls in Ukraine, supported the Random Acts of Kindness Day in all its shopping malls with good deeds in order to help those who really need it together with the community.

“As a socially responsible company, Arricano helps and supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine, public organizations, charitable foundations, the student community and socially disadvantaged groups.  Doing good deeds is easy and pleasant, and most importantly — it is very necessary and even more important during the war. Therefore, in all its shopping malls, Arricano initiated charitable projects to support the families of the village of Kehychivka, Kharkivska region, who were left without housing and work, pupils of the Bereznianskyi Educational and Rehabilitation Center of Chernihivska region, to join the arrangement of a sports room in the social center of the "Sunduchok" charitable foundation, as well as to help animals from the "Dai lapu, druh" shelter. The result exceeded our expectations — the community of all shopping malls actively responded and joined the initiatives, so together we helped many Ukrainian families,"said Inna Morozova, Marketing Director at Arricano.
 
Especially for the Random Acts of Kindness Day, Prospekt shopping mall, together with the Kenhurush social hub, on February 17, initiated the collection of things for the pupils of the Bereznianskyi Educational and Rehabilitation Center of Chernihivska region. Children with intellectual impairments, deprived of parental care, children with disabilities, and orphans master professions there. Together, Prospekt shopping mall and the community have collected 12 large boxes of clothes, shoes, stationery, books, board games and other important things for children, which are supported by Kenhurush NGO . 

The RayON shopping mall collected things to help families from the village of Kehychivka, Kharkivska region, who were left without housing and work. Visitors brought a lot of necessary things: clothes, shoes, stationery, books, linen, hygiene products, medicines, blankets, car seats, baby carts, toys. Many new products were bought by people immediately in the shopping mall and handed over to the coordinators of the organization. Finally, the RayON shopping mall community in Kyiv managed to assemble a full minibus of the necessary things. Representatives of the NGO "Kenhurush" noted that they did not expect such a great activity, and are very grateful to everyone who joined the collection, because any help is important and valuable for those who suffered during the war.

Activities in a game format that not only entertain children, but also teach and help to expand the outlook of children are an integral part of Arricano projects. Therefore, the initiatives for the Random Acts of Kindness Day also had an educational purpose: for Prospekt shopping mall, the leading developer chose a concept dedicated to knowing the world by touch. During a series of workshops conducted by the "Zdorovia maibutnoho" Charitable Foundation, children and adults mastered Braille, created tactile Harry Potter postcards and painted relief invisible drawings. 

Arricano attracted the youngest visitors to watch puppet shows about good deeds in its Kyiv shopping malls. Adults had the opportunity to purchase postcards, socks and shoppers from the "Dobriak" Charitable Foundation to support adolescents in difficult life situations. After all, all the funds raised by the fund will be used to organize and conduct training on the prevention of violence and support for mental health. Visitors to RayON shopping mall not only donated, but also purchased and handed over children's toys to volunteers of the "Dobriak" Charitable Foundation.

CITY MALL shopping mall, along with visitors, collected things for the shelter "Dai lapu, druh", which now takes care of 520 animals. The inhabitants of Zaporizhzhia brought delicacies for cats and dogs, fillers for trays, hygiene products and much more. And on the funds raised during the initiative, the shelter coordinators purchased more animal feed.  

The Sun Gallery shopping mall, despite the difficulties and obstacles that have actually made us all stronger, continues to live, feel, love, sympathize and do good deeds. Together with the "Sunduchok" Charitable Foundation, which helps children, military families, low-income families, people with disabilities, families in special situations, the "Sun Gallery" shopping mall helped with the arrangement of a sports room for the social center.

Good deeds do not end there. On February 22, Prospekt shopping mall calls to join the collection of blood for the defenders and become a donor in order to save the lives of the Ukrainian military. Blood collection of all groups is carried out by specialists of the Kyiv city Blood Center in partnership with the Union of Wounded Soldiers of Ukraine "Mitsni 300" and "OncoStop" Charitable Foundation.
