Program Continuity and Operations

The food support program in Brindisi, Italy, maintained consistent service throughout April 2026, providing essential assistance to local families while deepening community relationships. The team continued regular food collection from the Banco delle Opere di Carità in Brindisi’s industrial area, followed by organized distribution activities that have become a vital community lifeline.

April 2026 emphasized strengthening human relationships alongside regular distribution work. Every encounter created opportunities for listening, exchange, and mutual growth, confirming the value of daily commitment to dignified, person-centered service.

The team approaches May 2026 with the same determination and continuity, committed to walking alongside families and individuals with practical closeness, attention, and solidarity.

Update from our friends, in partnership with Brindisi Tabernacle.

In March, we focused on food collection and distribution, serving families across Brindisi and collecting high-quality donations during National Food Collection Day in five supermarkets. We completed five distributions, reaching all families in our program, and began a new partnership providing weekly sweets.

We were blessed by volunteers from Switzerland and the U.S., whose support strengthened our work with families and children.

Beyond food, we also responded to personal needs—helping connect an elderly woman facing abuse with professional care—continuing our mission to serve with dignity, compassion, and hope.
