We're excited to team up with the Ericeira initiative Amigos do Coração to help homeless people in Lisbon. Every Wednesday afternoon, a small group of our volunteers will come together near Ericeira to make delicious soup for about 100 people in need. Every Wednesday from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM we assemble a group of 4/5 people, cook up some hearty soup and prepare 100 containers to deliver to Amigos do Coração headquarters.

FAROL is a beautiful volunteer project helping local families in need, of which there are way more than you might think. Founded by the parishes of Ericeira and Carvoeira, they provide daily food distribution, hospital transport, tutoring, legal support, and even help people find jobs and homes. You can help them preparing the daily care boxes for the families, help out at their stand at supermarket Intermarché or help collect food from shops, restaurants and even schools in Ericeira.

Pedalar Sem Idade (Cycle without Age) is a nationwide initiative where old people and people with reduced mobility can enjoy a bike ride in a Trishaw: a special adapted bicycle with a comfy couch. They just opened in Mafra and are desperately looking for volunteers. As a volunteer, you’ll pick up a passenger from their home or a meeting point and take them for a ride of about an hour around the city, maybe even to a place full of memories.
