Abrigo São Gabriel

Abrigo São Gabriel is a nonprofit social care home in the Boa Viagem neighborhood of Salvador, Brazil.

Its approach emphasizes compassion, faith, companionship, happiness, and opportunities for rest and leisure. Abrigo São Gabriel also invites visitors to learn about its work and welcomes people who wish to volunteer. Individuals can support the home through monetary donations, including by credit card or bank slip, and can follow its activities and updates through its website and social media channels.
