Poor People's Closet: Using social media, food and clothing are collected and passed on to families in need.

Roberta Campani  he is the soul of the group  The wardrobe of the poor of Monza, a volunteer association that helps over 300 people in Monza and Brianza who are unable to shop regularly. To Roberta, and her best friend Teresa Amelio, co-founder of this goldmine of solidarity born thanks to social media, dozens of families are contacting us non-stop through the page Facebook of the association.

Every morning Roberta wakes up and the first thing she does is open her smartphone to check if any requests for support or help have arrived during the night and if there have been any donations, then she gets in her car to make the deliveries: Monza, Brianza, Cinisello BalsamoFood parcels, warm clothing, blankets, basic necessities, medical supplies, even furniture, as Roberta explains: "It's not just the strictly poor, but also families whose husbands are on unemployment benefits and who need plates and glasses because their children have broken them; sick people who can't get out of bed and need extra bolsters beyond those assigned by the local health authority; disabled people who eat in bed or on a chair and need a small table."
