Items may be delivered to them on National Youth Relief Day - Saturday, October 24, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture, or may be given to young people stationed at the entrance of partnering supermarkets, stated Marco Armbrister, acting dean of the National Corps of Youth Ambassadors.
