Shortly after the start of the quarantine in Italy due to the spread of COVID-19, Pope Francis donated 100 thousand Euros to Italian Caritas. He made the donation through the Dicastery for Integral Human Development, to support the essential services dedicated to the most vulnerable members of the society. Diocesan and parish Caritas centres in Italy run soup kitchens, homeless shelters, dormitories and more.
