LolaLiza's Warmest Van
drives by six charities
We toured Belgium with LolaLiza's Warmest Bus and distributed 1500 garments to six charities across the country

Empowering women, that is our absolute mission. A mission we also want to continue during the holidays. That's why we took our fully stocked Warmest Van with 1500 brand new warm sweaters and coats on the road. We made stops at six charities all over Belgium that are committed to women. In this way we hope to make these days a little warmer for women who need it.

Practice what you preach: with this wisdom in mind, it was obvious for us to do something during this period. To give a boost to women in vulnerable situations. Every woman deserves to feel good, regardless of her background or the capacity of her wallet.

An extra plus: while we donate these clothes, we also deal with inevitable overstock in a sustainable way. The clothes get a second chance and really make a difference to their new owners. We have got the taste for it and from now on we want to support organizations every year with our warm clothes. LolaLiza's Warmest Bus will be the first of many year-end actions.

Six charities

For this action, we chose six charities that are close to our hearts. In Flanders we chose De Stobbe, Het Zijhuis and Huis Klaas. De Stobbe is a center for parents and children that empowers families, gives them opportunities and builds a future with them. Het Zijhuis offers shelter to women and men, with or without children, who are dealing with intrafamilial violence. Huis Klaas helps women suffering from cancer with clothing, interior decoration, toys and a chat.

In Wallonia, we visited ASBL Nativitas, Los Amigos and Maison d'accueil SANS LOGIS. ASBL Nativitas provides a warm place for needy or isolated women, regardless of their age, origin, culture or religion. Los Amigos helps families who were affected by the floods earlier this year. Maison d'accueil SANS LOGIS provides shelter, counseling and all necessary assistance to people in need, the homeless, the needy, the underprivileged or those in precarious conditions.

We look back on a successful first year-end campaign and can't wait to repeat it next year.
Happy holidays!
