Pope Francis will donate
over 500 kilos of food to a charity for poor people called
Medicina Solidale which operates in the troubled Roman
neighbourhood of Tor Bella Monaca, it was announced on
Wednesday.
The pope's almoner, Konrad Krajewski, will directly oversee
the gift of tomatoes, canned legumes, cheese, cereals and jams
on Saturday morning.
Pope Francis visited Tor Bella Monaca 10 days ago when he
celebrated a mass in the Church of Santa Maria Madre del
Redentore.
"We were very surprised when we received the phone call,"
said Lucia Ercoli, who leads Medicina Solidale.
"The pope didn't forget about us and ten days after his
visit he decided to give a sign of his closeness to those in
need", added Ercoli.
