Comunidade Católica Shalom to hold Halleluya Solidário in Rio de Janeiro

Comunidade Católica Shalom is holding Halleluya Solidário today, 17, at the Arcos da Lapa in Rio de Janeiro to provide free health, citizenship, and social assistance services to people experiencing homelessness and extreme vulnerability. The event aims to provide more than 2 mil services throughout the day.

The Diocese of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro reports that volunteers and professionals will offer medical and dental consultations, social worker support, and assistance with issuing identity cards and other essential documents. The program also includes hygiene and self-care services, such as baths, haircuts, and the distribution of prepared meals.

This social action is part of the celebrations for the 30 years of presence of Comunidade Católica Shalom in Rio de Janeiro. Previous editions of the project have assisted more than 10 mil vulnerable people and facilitated the collection and distribution of tons of non-perishable food.
