Professors Marco Aurelio Pinheiro Lima, director of the Executive Directorate of Integrated Planning (DEPI/Unicamp), Cristiano Torezzan - Coordinator of the Regional Administration Secretariat (SAR Limeira), Álvaro, de Oliveira D'Antona - Director of the Faculty of Applied Sciences of Limeira (FCA), José Roberto Ribeiro – Director of the Technical College of Limeira (COTIL) and Renato Falcão Dantas – FT Director and Director of Institutional Relations at Funcamp.
donations - Donations can be made at funcamp website via bank deposit, credit card or bank slip and there is no minimum amount. In Limeira, the idea is also to help the most vulnerable population in the municipality who, due to social isolation measures, cannot work and face difficulties in acquiring food and basic products for everyday life, such as hygiene products, for example, essential to contain the spread of the virus.
With the funds raised, Funcamp will purchase basic food baskets from commercial establishments that will deliver the baskets directly to the Limeira Food Bank. Everyone can help, even without leaving home! If you prefer to donate food and hygiene products directly to the Limeira Food Bank, click here to choose one of the collection points. Any and all donations will be disclosed here on the campaign website through the menu "Track donations".
