The Republican National Guard (GNR) and Pingo Doce delivered, this Easter, baskets with essential food items to elderly people who live isolated or in vulnerable situations in the district of Viana do Castelo.

This initiative comes within the scope of a protocol, signed in 2022 between GNR and Pingo Doce, which aims to strengthen relations, with the aim of developing local actions and initiatives to combat isolation, loneliness and food shortages that often affect this age group of the population.
