INTERNATIONAL CHRISTMAS CHARITY BAZAAR

The 21th annual International Christmas Charity Bazaar took place on December 2nd (Saturday) at Vilnius Town Hall Square.

The International Christmas Charity Bazaar (ICCB) is organized by the International Women’s Association of Vilnius (IWAV) in cooperation with the international diplomatic and business communities and Lithuanian friends. More than 30 Embassies and organizations participate each year. Hundreds of volunteers and IWAV members in the organization join the event. Hundreds of sponsors, partners, and volunteers help prepare hand-made crafts, souvenirs and Christmas treats for the Bazaar. These gifts are offered in exchange for a donation to the beneficiaries, who are carefully vetted and selected by the organizing committee. Visitors of the event can participate in a lottery to win exciting prizes donated by sponsors and enjoy live entertainment, as they search for unique and traditional gifts from around the world.

The most important mission of this annual event is to raise funds for Lithuanian charities, helping the seniors, people with addiction, children with disorders, disabled people, and foster families.
