Porta Solidária

Situated in the well-known Igreja do Marquês, since 2009 that Porta Solidária - Centro Social da Paróquia Senhora da Conceição - feeds people and families most needy. The number of meals has been increasing and if in 2009 there were about 40 daily users, by the end of this year this number reached more than 250. The role of Porta Solidária thus passes through providing daily food aid for the needy and homeless in the city from Monday to Friday. And this whole project is only made possible and successful through the initiative and work of volunteers and institutions that cooperate with Porta Solidária. Because never all doors close, and whenever one closes there is another one that opens.
