Donate to charitable social work!
Thank you to everyone who donated to the Lenten Collection – continue helping your neighbour, donate to charitable social work!
We direct the money donated to Caritas’ charitable social work in Finland to, for example, camp support for children and young people and food gift cards. Your donation will also be used for social counseling and work with Ukrainians in Finland.
Camp support enables a summer experience
Many low-income families have difficulty offering their children meaningful activities in the summer. They do not know how to cope with the costs of the holiday. Caritas’ Camp Support provides financial relief to these families. As summer approaches, the need for support is at its greatest.
