Brazil - “Salesian Solidarity Hands” campaign in Vitória

12 May 2021

Vitória, Brazil - May 2021 - Due to the pandemic, more than half of the Brazilian population lives in a situation of food insecurity and millions of people do not have full and permanent access to food and basic necessities. For the benefit of the most vulnerable families, the Salesians of Vitória have started the local campaign "Solidarity Salesian Hands". Created by the Youth Ministry of the Salesian Works of Vitória, the initiative aims to collect non-perishable food, food baskets with basic products and personal hygiene products that will be destined for families assisted by "Cesam-ES" and the Salesian oratory and those of the areas of Forte São João, Romão and Cruzamento. The Municipality of Vitória, through the "Vitória in Solidarity" initiative, contributed to the campaign by delivering basic food baskets. “This campaign aims to help others, who for us are the image of Christ himself,” said Salesian Luiz Fernando de Oliveira, coordinator of Youth Ministry.
