Help each other out!

In times like these, people want to help their fellow human beings. We saw some incredibly beautiful initiatives over the last few days. We are extremely proud that our own residents are actively  helping each other out or supporting their neighborhoods.

Residents from Cobana, our first building in Rotterdam, had the great idea to help the neighbors of Katendrecht. They have expressed their availability for helping such as doing groceries, watching children, dog walking, cooking and anything else that is needed! Great job, guys, and way to show kindness to those around you!

We all know that local entrepreneurs, restaurant and café owners will face some hard times ahead. They have to close (or switch to  take away and to-go orders only), which affects them deeply. In Amsterdam, a few local independent suppliers have come up with a great idea to assemble a grocery packet. For only €45 euro can buy this packet full of fresh dairy, meat, bread and vegetables from a few of your local businesses! Buy your grocery packet here.

Residents of Little Manhattan in Amsterdam had the great idea to make a ‘share and care box’. Those residents who have some extra supplies, like soap, toilet paper, and food items in high demand can donate them. Others who need something can anonymously just take whatever it is they need. What a great way to spread the love!

​We all hope to get through this time of crisis as smoothly as possible and therefore we call on each and everyone of you to do your part if you are in a position to do so! Check this out if you live in Rotterdam and this if you live in Amsterdam! ​​
