UCP organizes national solidarity campaign

The four campi of Universidade Católica Portuguesa gather for the first national solidarity campaign of food collection and donations, which began on November 24 and ends on December 18.

Under the motto "Catholic Solidarity - Together for a Cause", this campaign invites students, teachers and collaborators to participate in the collection of food and donations at the four campuses of the UCP or through donations made directly to partner institutions.

The institutions supported under this initiative belong to the areas of action of the Catholic, namely, Junta de Freguesia de São Domingos de Benfica - Lisbon; Refood Foz do Douro and Banco Alimentar Porto; Conferência Vicentina C.C Braga and Câmara Municipal de Viseu.

At Headquarters you can contribute by delivering non-perishable food products (rice, pasta, canned food, cookies, grain, beans, olive oil, oil, milk, ...), baby goods (NAN and Aptamil 1,2 and 3 powdered milk, disposable diapers from no. 0 to no. 6, baby hygiene products, porridge for 4 and 6 months, pacifiers and bottles, breastfeeding discs), or through a financial donation (here).
 
The collection points are the Student Associations of the various Units, the Espaço Católica Solidária (next to the Stationery in the John Paul II Library Building) or the Chaplaincy.
 
The first national solidarity campaign of the UCP comes within the framework of the Year Laudato si' and has the massive support of all the Academic Units and Student Associations of the UCP.
