The Universidade Católica Portuguesa has joined forces with Cáritas Diocesana de Lisboa in a Solidarity Campaign to support families and communities affected by Storm Kristin.

Between 2 and 5 February, non-perishable food and hygiene products will be collected. Donations can be delivered to the Social Responsibility Office on the 5th floor of the João Paulo II Library Building or to the Chapel of Saint Mary, seat of Wisdom.

These donations will be delivered to Cáritas Diocesana de Lisboa, which, in conjunction with Cáritas Diocesana de Leiria, will distribute them on the ground.

How can you help?

• Non-perishable food: rice, pasta, olive oil, cooking oil, tinned food (tuna, sausages, legumes), milk, baby food, biscuits and cereals.
