FRESH FOOD BASKETS

We are presenting "the Fresh Basket project," an initiative designed by SOS Providência and Blaise, who is also a violoncello and French teacher at Casa Amarela. This project was born from the need to complement the donations of basic food baskets with healthier food, thinking about a diet with much more nutrients.

With the partnership of the MST of Nova Iguaçu and Daniel, producer at the Glória fair, it was possible to get organic and fresh food to form the Fresh Basket! And it is only the beginning, with your support we will use part of the donations to also continue with this project, providing many families with the best during this period of crisis.

Congratulations to all involved, and especially to those who are daily in the field, giving strength and energy to follow the work and support to the community!
