Fr Martin Micallef, director of Id-Dar tal-Providenza, was presented with a €5,000 donation by Pierre Vella Petroni and Anne Marie Xuereb, organisers of an annual barbecue, now in its sixth year.
The sum collected will help the home, which offers care to people with a disability and needs €13,000 in daily running costs.
Fr Micallef thanked the organisers, helpers, sponsors and all friends and relatives who attended this fundraising activity and donated towards this home.
