BRAC Bank Limited recently distributed warm clothes to more than 26,000 poor people in the northern region of the country.

Country’s northern region is hit hard by severe cold spell every winter. People of the area became highly happy for receiving warm clothes well ahead of the winter season. Many poor old-aged people queued up and received the warm clothes, said a press release.

On receiving a blanket, Abdul Aziz, an 80 year old man at Bhurungamari in Kurigram, said, “Warm clothes ahead of winter have come as a great help for us.”

Some 8,000 employees of the bank donated the warm clothes for the less advantaged people of our country. Apart from donating warm clothes, the employees also raised funds to buy blankets to help people survive the imminent and unbearable winter.

Every winter, BRAC Bank employees come forward to help humanity.

Like previous years, the employees of BRAC Bank donated funds for "BRAC Bank DAUR – Kallayaner Pathchala", an annual marathon to raise funds for humanitarian causes. A portion of these funds has been used to buy the blankets to be distributed among the less advantaged people of our country.

More than three teams of BRAC Bank distributed 3,500 blankets, 6,000 sweaters and 17,000 warm clothes to Bhurungamari in Kurigram, Dimla in Nilphamari and Harivasha in Panchagarh.
