To celebrate the 5th World Day of the Poor, 14 November 2021, the FSP Book Center of Treviso, in collaboration with the diocesan branch of Caritas, organized an initiative entitled: Donate a Book: It’s Food for the Soul! Customers were able to choose titles from a display case set up for the occasion. The books were then donated to the people living in the Diocesan House of Charity. The initiative was warmly applauded by many people, who showed sensitivity and solidarity toward it. Each purchaser received a bookmark that read: “Thank you! The book you have donated will bring a touch of joy to the hearts of the poor residing in the Diocesan House of Charity.” The initiative translates into action the words of Fr. James Alberione, who said: “Give everyone the charity of truth because food for the soul is also necessary!”
