12 clubs work within the committee for voluntary blood donation in the municipal organization. In 2020, 1.569 units of blood were collected, and last year 3.072.
K is also recognized for its elderly care program. Thus, in 2020, 20 volunteers took care of 50 beneficiaries, while the number of those for whom they bought groceries and brought medicine on a daily basis cannot be counted.
"We successfully implemented the project activity of visiting the elderly in the village - home visits. This project included 20 elderly people whom we regularly visited accompanied by a doctor, and thanks to a donation from Telekom and Master Card, we were able to restore furniture for three elderly households worth 2.140 euros," said Macanović.
Last year, they regularly visited 80 elderly people in urban areas and 50 in rural areas.
During 2020, 24 geronto housewives visited 240 elderly people, and last year, due to the introduction of monthly participation payments by the Ministry of Social Welfare, the number of beneficiaries and the number of geronto housewives decreased, so in 2021, 16 geronto housewives visited around 160 seniors.
