These bags, reusable and produced from recycled plastic bottles, are for sale in all Continente, Continente Modelo and Continente Bom Dia stores in the country, for €1.50. For each bag sold, €0.50 goes to the four institutions. The total raised amount varies, depending on the number of bags sold, and will be divided equally between the institutions, to implement a project, which will be monitored by Missão Continente to assess the impact on the community.

With the amount obtained from the bags’ sale, each of the benefiting institutions develops their projects: the ‘Associação Salvador’works in the ​​motor disabilities area and develops several actions with an impact on improving the integration and quality of life of countless people with disabilities; ‘Corações com Coroa’ defends Gender Equality and Human Rights and its mission is to support, inform and empower young girls and women; ‘Espaço t’ – the ‘t’ stands for ‘todos’ (everyone) – is an open space that uses art as an instrument for developing artistic, personal, social, cultural and training skills; and, ‘Teatro do Vão’, which sees theatre as a place that promotes new, more plural, inclusive and less binary universes, is preparing three shows that aim to be democratic, accessible and intersectional, working on the themes of representation and accessibility.
