The hopes of both were fulfilled faster than they had hoped. At this stage, Bruno Quéheille did not think he would go any further. Especially since, very quickly, the Association of Mayors of France and the Civil Protection have structured collection points in the municipalities and transport logistics.

But I had to find a solution for storage. She came from the association Les Cigales, owner of the halls and sports facilities, located at 33 avenue des Pyrénées. An old locker room has been made available to him.
“You don’t need any more clothes,” recalls Bruno Quéheille. It takes food products, hygiene products in general, feminine hygiene products and baby products, diapers, bottles and sneakers for men, women and children of different sizes. »
To welcome them, Bruno Quéheille has decided to hold office hours on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. He received the support of Arnaud Darmendrailh, concierge of the Cigales.
“A truck will leave Monday April 4 from Bordeaux, bound for kyiv, indicates Bruno Quéheille. Thanks to Vladimir, we are in direct contact with an association there. We try to respond to the requests it makes of us. It is also a guarantee that the donations sent to us are well used. »
