Heat the street 2018

Come hang on your clothes to warm who needs it or collect one if it needs it!

We keep the spirit of free and conscientious collection that we always defend and intend to promote, without asking why. It is very important to recognize that regardless of whether a person / family may not be in a situation of poverty or social deprivation, he is often not able to allocate the short budget to goods as clothing. It is for these people that we are here too! It is important to break this stigma and so we do with this exchange between who gives and who happens simultaneously. We will all be there either for a good cause or for good reason. Join us, by one or the other!

For this reason, this year, we arrived earlier and with a great novelty: in addition to warm clothing and shelters for adults, there will be a Junior Heat Street, to respond to appeals from various families who were looking for warm clothing for their children.

It is also the families who requested this type of support that this year the event will start as soon as 14:00 and takes place on a Saturday. We want to reach more people, we want Lisbon to wake up really hotter!

We will have the rope divided into several sections: Man, Woman, Child and Accessories (blankets, scarves, gloves and others) and we leave only a brief appeal so that the people who move here bring springs and /or hangers to hang their warm clothes.

We will be there to welcome you and help raise the temperature of this day with all the warm clothing and warmth possible.

Everything that is not collected will be collected by our partners – CRESCER and the Good Neighborhood Santo António – Dona Ajuda. It will also be to these associations that, who can not be present on the 15th, will be able to move after the event to leave there clothes and also, who needs, to be able to collect in the week that follows the event.

Look again at this cause on December 15th and help Lisbon wake up differently, holding out her hand and her warmth not the hottest rope!
