The Municipality of Gondomar has launched the 'Solidarity Christmas' initiative, offering discount vouchers to families in socio-economic vulnerability to help with holiday expenses.

As Christmas approaches, support for families in socio-economic vulnerability gains special importance. It is in this context that another edition of 'Solidarity Christmas' is being held, an initiative aiming to alleviate the burdens of this season and provide a more peaceful holiday period.
Through this measure, a Christmas hamper, in the form of discount vouchers, will be provided, which can be used at participating commercial establishments. In this way, the Municipality aims to directly support families while simultaneously contributing to the revitalization and appreciation of local businesses.
Applications are open between November 16 and 27, 2026, and can be submitted in person at the Balcão Único de Atendimento, in Praça do Cidadão, online via the form available on the Municipality's Online Services (Social Support area > Solidarity Christmas – Document Submission), or at the Integrated Service Points of the Parish Councils (Juntas de Freguesia).
Access conditions and necessary documentation can be consulted in the information leaflet available online. The awarded vouchers can be used until January 8, 2027.
