Havan’s “Troco Solidário” campaign raised in 2020 a total of R $ 9.7 million. The action took place in all megastores present in 17 Brazilian states and the amount will be passed on to 160 philanthropic entities and institutions across the country and multiplied in them through benefits for the population. In Santa Catarina, exceptionally in this edition, the amount will be transferred to the actions of the Women’s Network to Combat Cancer.

Havan’s owner Luciano Hang emphasizes the importance of the community in this campaign, which, even in such a challenging year, has done its part helping others. “Among the actions we have, “Troco Solidário” is one of the most beautiful and significant. It is the result of the collective effort to help those who do good. There are thousands of people who trust us to make their contribution. We are immensely grateful to know that from penny to penny we can help thousands of people. I appreciate each donation, they make all the difference”, he points out.

The campaign

“Troco Solidário Havan” has existed in the retail chain since 2010. In these years, it raised more than R$ 30 million and helped almost a thousand institutions spread across the country.

Entities interested in participating in the “Troco Solidário” campaign should contact the branch manager of their cities (if there is more than one store in the municipality, go to just one branch) and register the institution in the campaign. The entity undergoes evaluation. It is necessary that the institution has its own CNPJ (EIN), bank account in the name of the entity, bylaws and suitability.

From the approved registration, the “Troco Solidário” becomes an invitation, made by Havan’s cashier, to donate the change, or part of it, to the campaign. The donated amount is accounted in the system and the person receives a proof of participation, informing which entity she is helping. The donation of the amount collected includes a different entity in each edition.
