The charity stores “Emmaus-Oselya” are the main source of income of Oselya which is used for running costs of the community and for financing of solidarity actions. In the store one can buy used furniture, clothes, dishes, household items and other goods that are donated by residents of Lviv and Vynnyky. By purchasing goods at our store, customers help 25 homeless people who live and work in the community, 100 homeless people who receive hot meals every week in the downtown in Lviv, 30-40 people receiving sanitation and hygiene services at the Olesya Sanotska support center and 400 people for whom we organize Christmas dinners and Easter breakfasts.
For the time we run the store it has become something more than a place where people buy used items. We consider our store as a cultural center, where customers can spend time with the benefit and pleasure. It’s a place where friends of Oselya and active citizens of Vynnyky come together. We hold various events for our clients, like watching movies, various workshops, concerts and literary meetings.
The store is located at the following addresses: Lviv-Vynnyky, V. Sukhomlynskoho Street, 36 and Lviv, Uhorska Street, 2.
