The goal was clear: “help those who need it most”. Last Saturday, December 17th, Timing organized a solidarity Christmas lunch at Escola Básica D. Joaquim Magalhães, in Faro, where almost 100 people supported by Refood got together.
The lunch was made – and organized – by both Timing’s external workers and office staff, in a total of about 25 people. The choice of Refood Faro as an institution to help was “immediate” because they do “extraordinary work”.
People from “ages 8 to 80” took part in the lunch. In the words of Ricardo Mariano, CEO of Timing, they were all “very happy”: “Many people who were there will have a Christmas Eve with less affection, less love than there was at that lunch”, he adds.
In addition to lunch, each person also received a gift.
The goal is to make this initiative become a tradition.
“We want this to be the first of many lunches: this is what Christmas is all about. This was the first time, but we want more, and we also want this to be an example for other companies, because a lot of love was shared at that lunch,” he concludes.
