Volunteering at the Santa Casa da Misericórdia of Lisbon - a story of dedication

The history of Volunteering at Santa Casa intertwines with the history of the institution over more than five centuries. A story marked by help, dedication, commitment, and love for others, especially those in vulnerable situations.

The volunteers of Santa Casa are an integral part of the Institution, identifying with the Mission, wearing the "jersey," and with much affection, responsibility, and dedication, they help improve the quality of life of the people targeted by SCML's intervention.

It is the story of this affectionate expression of generosity and those who embody it in the Misericórdia de Lisboa that is told in this volume.
