Participate in the Christmas Solidarity Campaign

"The joy of coming together" is the motto of the Christmas solidarity campaign of Universidade Católica Portuguesa  (UCP) that brings together the community of the four campi (Lisboa, Porto, Braga and Viseu), with the aim of supporting more than 30 charities. This nationwide campaign which includes the collection of food, donations, and volunteer actions, will last until December 17.

One of the initiatives still in place is the collection of clothes and hygiene products for the Âlcantara Balneary. The Institute of Health Sciences (Lisbon) has collaborated with the bathhouse through a community intervention project for vulnerable populations, providing nursing services. This Christmas season, the Nursing School Students Union is collecting essential products for the day-to-day life of these people until December 16.

In Porto, it is still possible to contribute to the collection of food and clothing for Casa da Mãe Clara and Porto Solidária, also until December 16. Casa da Mãe Clara is a social project of Casa de Saúde da Boavista that provides daily assistance to 150 needy people through a full meal, health care, clothing and other basic necessities. Porto Solidário's mission is to support people and families who are in a situation of social and economic vulnerability, namely through the distribution of food.

In Viseu, the collection of food for socially vulnerable families continues, in partnership with the Ready to Help Association.

In Braga, it is still possible to participate in the raising of funds for the purchase of Christmas presents for children living in Social Solidarity Institutions, victims of mistreatment, neglect or abandonment.

These are just a few of the many initiatives that are still in effect and in which you can participate until the end of this week.
