Several municipalities in Brussels support Ukrainian refugees

Food, clothing or housing: the municipalities of Woluwe-Saint-Pierre and Woluwe-Saint-Lambert are organising a support cause for civilians affected by the humanitarian catastrophe of the war in Ukraine. Residents of Brussels from committed municipalities are invited to join the momentum of solidarity.

Woluwe-Saint-Pierre

More specifically, the commune of Woluwe-Saint -Pierre wants to harvest. While it is already collaborating with a local butcher, the municipality in the south of Brussels wishes to send these basic necessities directly to the Ukrainian border.

According to a report by BX1 News, donations can be dropped off directly at the Rudy butcher’s shop, rue du Duc 33, 1150 Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, every day of the week, during the opening hours of the butcher’s shop. Here is the contact number: 02/770.05.95 .

Woluweans who wish can also provide accommodation, whether it is a room, a studio or an apartment, in order to accommodate one or more people. To do this, they can go to the municipality’s website and fill out an aid proposal form .

The accommodation will then be offered to Ukrainian citizens who register with the foreigners’ service of the municipality. In addition, all administrative procedures will be free. A temporary reception area will be made available to them while they are in contact with the locals.

For more information or for additional proposals, Woluweans can dial 0800/35.190, send an email to ukraine@woluwe1150.be or consult the site https://www.woluwe1150.be/ukraine.

Woluwe-Saint-Lambert

The town hall of Woluwe-Saint-Lambert is transformed into a warehouse. The municipality invites its inhabitants who wish to donate new medical equipment or medicines. The town hall is located at avenue Paul Hymans, 2.

Like the neighbouring town, Woluwe-Saint-Lambert will launch a platform on its website ( www.woluwe1200.be ) where Woluweans can register for their eligibility of hosting war refugees.
