About a thousand food and hygiene products, half a thousand toys and books and a hundred articles of clothing and footwear. This is the result of the solidarity campaign of Santa's Cabin, which was installed at 9 de Abril Square, between 12 and 24 December.
Together with his elves and other Christmas characters, Santa Claus of Famalicão is in the habit of receiving the solidarity contributions of the citizens of Famalicão, which are then distributed among the neediest families of the county, through the Social Store of Famalicão.
"The famalicenses stand out for their solidarity and generosity", says the Mayor, Mário Passos, adding, "once again they showed their solidarity". "Now the products and goods delivered will reach the neediest families in the county, because Christmas is made every day".
The custom of Santa Claus receiving solidarity gifts is already a tradition in Famalicão and the community, schools and institutions play a fundamental role in this initiative.
