The fight against hunger is a priority for this direction, so much so that in the Ceará without hunger program we will work on three fronts: distribution of a food card, creation of a network of social meal production units ( USPR) and distribution of food products. foodstuffs, hygiene and cleaning, among others”, underlined Lia de Freitas.
The Secretary of Public Security and Social Defense (SSPDS), Samuel Elânio, pointed out that the partnership between the secretariats shows that the eradication of hunger is a work group in which the government of Ceará is fully committed. “These donations show the government’s commitment to the people of Ceará, and we, who make the SSPDS, want to strengthen our commitment so that together we can fight hunger in Ceará”, reiterated Samuel Elânio.
