How does it work?

1. Through Tucum we collect donations which flow into the fund called "Santa Rita - Turin"

2. The sums collected make it possible to reload special cards with NFC and bar-code technology that are personalized and given to people identified by the VINCENTIAN VOLUNTEER GROUP of Santa Rita Parish.

3. The cards function within a circuit of stores of affiliated neighborhoods belonging to different categories of goods and services.

Support the Santa Rita Suspended Fund, too!

With a small donation you can help make our neighborhood more supportive and attentive to the needs of the least.

Tucum is an innovative tool for living charity: it will not only be financial aid, but also an avenue to restore dignity, hope and independence to those facing a difficult time.

Doing each person's part will help with small gestures to multiply the good and create a small ecosystem of solidarity and sharing within the neighborhood.
