It will start from January 1 to February 2, 2018, during which agencies, organisations, enterprises and donors are encouraged to help the poor through the provincial VFF Committee and socio-political organisations or directly sending the gifts to the needy.
As schedule, the gifts will be delivered to the beneficiaries by February 10, 2018.
At the meeting, President of the provincial VFF Committee Vuong Duc Sang asked local departments, agencies and organisations to actively respond to the programme, while strengthening communications on it among the public.
