Winter clothing drives help children in Paraguay and Argentina

The Pastoral Social Arquidiocesana, through the Centro Comunitario Chacarita in Asunción, Paraguay, launched a winter clothing collection for children in the Ricardo Brugada neighborhood. The campaign seeks coats, scarves, socks, hats and shoes, with donation points at the community center on Mómpox 145 and the Faculty of Social Sciences at the National University of Asunción. Organizers provided a contact number (0983) 377‑427 for inquiries.

In Berazategui, Argentina, the municipal government under Mayor Carlos Balor held the ninth edition of the "Abrigando Sueños" campaign. The event delivered 406 blankets and 76 polar scarves to local schools and a community workshop, and provided 300 crib blankets to the municipal neonatal and maternal‑child health services. The distribution involved municipal officials, the local industrial union and volunteers, highlighting a nine‑year‑long partnership to support children and families during winter.
