The Malta Environment and Planning Authority (MEPA) has raised and donated over €9,200 to two separate Maltese charitable institutions – Caritas and the Malta Community Chest Fund (MCCF).
The money raised for the MCCF was collected from the entrance fee of two educational initiatives the authority held earlier this year. These two initiatives included the monthly educational Sunday biodiversity and heritage planning tours and the Mepa evening lectures. The donation of €3,000 was presented to the deputy chairperson of MCCF, Edgar Preca, by Mepa chairman Vincent Cassar.
Mepa also donated over €6,200 to Caritas Malta through a separate initiative. The funds were raised through the Mepa annual summer BBQ which was held for its employees.
On this occasion, the donation was presented to the director of Caritas Malta Leonid McKay by Mepa CEO Johann Buttigieg.
Through these initiatives, Mepa instils a sense of duty towards the public, while supporting charitable entities whose work goes towards the benefit of the more vulnerable members of our society.
