About two thousand confirmed poor , but the people living in poverty in Macomer are perhaps much more. The situation of profound social hardship pushes the parish Caritas to promote a collection day in all the supermarkets of Macomer. The day is set for Saturday, in which an army of volunteers will participate.

Once again, therefore, many are mobilizing and doing their utmost to collect food and non-perishable products to distribute to the poorest. The movement is the same as always: «Sharing needs to share the meaning of life», which also becomes the common thread of this important initiative, coordinated by the parish priest Father Andrea Rossi. " Requests have increased compared to previous years," says the priest. «We don't have certain numbers, but we know that there are around 2,000 adults alone and to these are added the children, the families, who have also lost their citizenship income. A drama. For this we rely on the good hearts of the people , as well as the availability of all the supermarkets in Macomer. Caritas volunteers will be there, well organized, to collect what is donated and then distribute it to the families."

An initiative which also finds the collaboration of the Municipality: «In our town the situation has worsened further since September, with many local families who do not have a job and have also lost their citizenship income », says the vice mayor, Maria Luisa Muzzu, councilor for social services. «We collaborate with groups of volunteers, in particular with Caritas and the Red Cross, to do networking and try to help those who live in difficulty».
