The Post Office is selecting volunteers to work on sorting donations for victims of the rains in Rio Grande do Sul. Support will be needed in the municipalities of Cajamar (SP), Guarulhos (SP), Brasília, Curitiba, Cascavel (PR) and Londrina ( PR).
Registrations can be made by email to [email protected] (Brasília), [email protected] (São Paulo) and [email protected] (Paraná) and must contain full name and contact telephone number.
In a note, Correios informed that the entire network of agencies in the Northeast, Southeast and South regions, in addition to the Federal District, receives donations of water, considered priority, food from the basic basket, personal hygiene material, dry cleaning material and clothing bed and bath and pet food.
“The transportation of items to Rio Grande do Sul is carried out by Correios free of charge, at no cost to those who make the donation. If possible, the company asks the donor to package and identify the type of material, but it is not a requirement”, informed the Post Office.
