VIDA Project volunteers join new "Apoio à Vida" campaign

Volunteers from VIDA Project - Volunteering at Católica - will take part in the Apoio à Vida Baby Products Collection Campaign on February 2nd at the Auchan supermarket in Cascais.

This is a campaign to collect essential items for the babies of the mothers supported by this organisation. Apoio à Vida supports pregnant women in situations of difficulty at all levels (psychological, social, training and integration into the labour market). It also develops occasional campaigns to collect goods such as diapers, milk, saline solution, wipes, and baby food, among others.

The VIDA Project is aimed at students of all levels of education at the Universidade Católica Headquarters campus who wish to do voluntary work. Organized in partnership between the Social Responsibility Office (GRS) and the CatólicaChaplaincy, the VIDA Project provides for the full monitoring of volunteers, from their registration to their training and integration in the different institutions.
