Brazil 2026 Winter Relief and Health Charities
Overview
The 2026 Campanha do Agasalho has expanded its reach across Brazil, with the Fundo de Apoio à Comunidade (FAC) coordinating efforts to assist approximately 50,000 beneficiaries. In Campo Grande, the campaign concluded on 1 August following a “Dia D” event at Praça do Rádio. Organized by the FAC with support from municipal agencies such as the Casa Civil and Agetran, the event featured a “Pit Stop Solidário,” a vintage car parade, and a motorcycle rally. The Insanos motorcycle club contributed approximately 1,500 items, and the drive collected over 4,000 items in total, bringing the campaign’s reach in the region to over 17,500 assisted individuals.
Regional initiatives continue to show significant results. In Paulínia, the Social Solidarity Fund broke records by collecting 49,193 items—including 45,693 pieces of clothing and over 3,500 blankets—which were distributed to local vulnerable families. In Araucária, the collection of clothing, footwear, and blankets remains active until 31 August, with over 6,000 items already delivered to community associations via collection points like bus terminals and schools.
In the Tatuí region, the São Paulo Social Fund has launched a state-wide mobilization for clothing and financial resources involving municipalities such as Boituva, Cerquilho, and Itapetininga. While local collection points like the Fire Department are active in Tatuí, official municipal coordination details have been difficult to locate through city hall channels. Other ongoing activities include the Acolher program in Itapevi and the Desafio Solidário competition by the real-estate association ABADI.
