SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 18:54

This weekend, Cáritas is promoting a mobilization campaign with the participation of 260 volunteers on the islands of Madeira and Porto Santo. The initiative is taking place at Pingo Doce supermarkets spread across these regions.

The campaign involves approximately 30 partner entities that joined Cáritas to support this solidarity action. The volunteer mobilization aims to strengthen the humanitarian organization's work during this period.

Pingo Doce supermarkets serve as collection and awareness points for this campaign, allowing volunteers to interact with customers and raise awareness among the population for the causes supported by Cáritas. This partnership between Cáritas and the supermarket chain provides access to an extensive distribution network for the initiative.

Why this matters

Readers in the region can contribute directly to support families in vulnerable situations, simply by shopping at the participating supermarkets. The mobilization of 260 volunteers and 30 partners demonstrates the strength of the local solidarity network, making this a concrete opportunity for citizen participation in social assistance.
