It helps people with less resources to participate in the issues that concern their own life. Also, people with risk of exclusion are helped by giving them shelter for some days, food and resources in case they have problems with the health. In Cáritas there are different programs and projects focused on the people and their needs. Also, Cáritas offers help with food services (social dining room and monthly delivery food) and also help to provide clothes in the shop.
