GOL is carrying out a solidarity action on behalf of families affected by the rains in Brazil

Instituto GOL, which takes over the social responsibility actions of GOL Linhas Aéreas, through GOLLOG, the Company's logistics arm, has been providing since December 30th all the support to the campaign in favor of families affected by the heavy rains that affect several Brazilian states since the turn of the year.

 

The campaign has the theme “Abrace a Bahia”, whose objective is to collect clothes, non-perishable food and basic hygiene items for citizens impacted by the floods. Due to the fact that other states are going through the same crisis situation experienced in Bahia, the campaign was extended to Minas Gerais, Maranhão, Piauí, Goiás and Tocantins - and there is no set deadline for completion.

 

GOLLOG is responsible for collecting physical donations from civil society and the general population and for transporting them to the airports closest to the affected cities in the Midwest, Northeast and Southeast regions. For this purpose, it uses the wide air network provided by GOL. For the state of Bahia alone, GOLLOG has so far moved more than 66 tons of donations.

Donors are allowed to designate, on the package, to which state they wish to send the donations.

In case of liquids, such as shampoo, the reinforcement must be intensified to avoid leakage, and it is necessary to point out the loading position (up arrows). Items classified as dangerous, such as aerosols and flammable liquids, are not accepted. The limit weight per package is 40 kg.
