Charity toy drives launched in Campo Grande and Beja

Two separate charitable initiatives have been launched to collect toys for children in vulnerable social or economic situations during the upcoming Christmas season.

In Campo Grande, Brazil, the Natal Solidário 2026 campaign, organized by the Community Support Fund (FAC), aims to collect 20,000 new toys. Donations can be made at several locations, including the FAC headquarters, municipal secretariats, the City Hall administrative headquarters at Shopping Norte Sul Plaza, and Colégio Master. The gifts will be distributed across seven urban regions and two districts during the Natal nos Bairros program.

In Beja, Portugal, Cáritas Diocesana is running the “Sorrisos para pequenos corações” campaign. This initiative accepts both new toys and used toys, provided they are clean, complete, and in good working condition. Donations can be delivered to the Cáritas facilities on Rua Afonso Lopes Vieira until December 7.
