GNR and Pingo Doce delivered, this Easter, baskets with essential food items to elderly people who live isolated or in vulnerable situations in the district of Faro.
Through the Criminal Prevention and Community Policing sections, the GNR distributed 100 food baskets made up of essential goods, such as pasta, rice, tuna, biscuits or tea, to elderly people previously referenced in the last 'Senior Census Operation 2023'.
In a note, GNR explains that this initiative arises within the scope of a protocol, signed in 2022 with Pingo Doce, which aims to «strengthen relationships, with the aim of developing local actions and initiatives to combat isolation, loneliness and food shortages that , often affect this age group of the population».
Since the beginning of the partnership, the two entities have distributed around eight thousand baskets during the festive seasons of Easter and Christmas, in an action that aims to maintain closeness and bring a little comfort to elderly people who are in a situation of isolation and loneliness.
