What Drove Us:

Inverno Unido was born during a moment of camaraderie while we were playing soccer. Amidst the laughter and competition, a conversation sparked about the harsh realities of winter for those without shelter. As the temperatures drop, we realized how the cold only intensifies the challenges for the homeless and underprivileged, leaving them vulnerable and exposed.

Moved by the urgency of the situation, we felt compelled to take action. Our mission is simple: to ensure that no one is left without the basic necessities to survive the winter. We focus on collecting and distributing warm clothing, food, and essential hygiene products to those who need them most.

Inverno Unido is more than just a response to the cold; it’s a call to our community to stand together and provide warmth and hope to those who have little to protect themselves against the harsh winter. Our story is one of compassion and commitment, driven by the belief that everyone deserves to face the winter with dignity and care.

Donation

We began our efforts by utilizing Instagram as our primary platform for gathering donations. As the campaign continued, each member of our team sought to maximize contributions in their own way—from reaching out to the PTA moms’ group chat to visiting textile factories and collecting discarded materials to repurpose into blankets. Our diverse approach led to an impressive collection of 194 donations, including 48 blankets, 70 coats, 8 pairs of shoes, 15 pairs of pants, 27 pairs of socks, 12 pairs of gloves, and 14 T-shirts. Partnering with ‘Entregas Por SP,’ we combined our resources to create comprehensive kits for the homeless, where we focused on clothing and warmth, while they provided hygiene products and food. Together, we brought our combined efforts to the heart of São Paulo, distributing every item and ensuring that those in need were met with the care and compassion they deserve.
