In April 2016 Rotary Club Estoi Palace decided to help a local charity, A Caritas, which operates out of São Bras de Alportel. Its mission is to help families in need and currently supports around 50 plus families in the area.
Estoi Rotary Club has helped arrange 2 collections of food, clothing and other items that are urgently required by these families. The collections were well supported with a lot of people donating items to help support the work of Caritas.
All the products collected were taken to the Caritas Headquarters on the 28th of March and the 5th of May and handed over to its President Sr. Rodrigues.
A third collection will be organised between the 1st and 23rd of June.
If you would like to contribute particularly hygiene products for babies and adults, food (such as milk, olive oil, tinned sausages, cereals etc.), clothes, shoes, towels, please contact natacha@rotaryestoipalace.org for information on drop off points.
Everything collected will be handed over to Caritas at their headquarters on 23rd June at 19.00.
