The Chamber of Faro it offered 350 Christmas baskets to needy families in the municipality.
This initiative, which is already a tradition of the municipality, "represents a contribution to help provide a more dignified Christmas season for citizens with more social and financial vulnerabilities", says the Chamber of Faro.
"The baskets, composed of various food items, were allocated to Faro households, with proven economic needs, which have been identified and have been monitored over the last year by the services of the Municipality," he adds.
