The City Council receives 5,000 euros for the acquisition of food and basic necessities that will allow it to offer quick help to the most vulnerable families in the municipality, while emergency cases are processed.
The 'La Caixa' Foundation has shown its support, through CaixaBank, with a contribution of 5,000 euros to the project to help families in situations of social vulnerability or extreme risk in San Sebastián de La Gomera as a consequence of the health crisis caused by Covid-19. Thus, up to a total of 40 families could benefit from this first emergency aid, materialized in a purchase of basic necessities, which would serve as a temporary means until the City Council concludes the processing of the emergency aid.
The contribution has been ratified by the director of the capital's office, Vanesa Padrón, the mayor of San Sebastián de La Gomera, Adasat Reyes, and the councilor for Social Services, Vanesa Vizcaíno.
Since the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis, 'la Caixa' Foundation has allocated, through CaixaBank, 9.6 million euros to 1,700 projects related to the supply of food, medical supplies and emergencies to respond to the vulnerable people most affected by the pandemic.
