Italy - Don Bosco Verona: thanks to Mani Giovani Association, humanity is practiced

20 November 2020

Verona, Italy - November 2020 - The campus of the Don Bosco Institute in Verona, belonging to the Salesian Province of North-East Italy (INE), welcomes the community with concrete help to families and people in difficulty, especially in this delicate and difficult emergency due to Covid-19. The main activity includes the distribution of food to over a hundred families in difficulty. Raw materials are donated by companies, businesses, the Food Bank and the Rana Pastificio, a pasta company. Everything is distributed thanks to the "Mani Giovani" association, founded about fifteen years ago by a group of past pupils from the Don Bosco Institute in Verona to give continuity to the spontaneous action of the Salesian Fr Marcello Rizzo, who had started this good practice as a concrete help to the situation of poverty and to involve children in a social volunteer project. Together with the many volunteers and the Salesian Institute, the association provides for the packaging of packages and their delivery.
