DURING March, the Food Bank of Lux Mundi, Torre del Mar, the programme to deliver food and toiletries to families in need was restarted, thanks to the work of our volunteers and friends.

In those few weeks a large amount of food was collected and we were able to help 18 families, 56 adults, 12 children, six of them babies and a disabled child.

So we are asking you to continue helping us. The families referred to us have no alternative. Many come here find themselves without a job, others receive insufficient wages or face very difficult personal and family situations that do not allow them to cover their essential needs, such as food.

Could you help with any of these items: milk, rice, dried beans, tomato frito and tuna. Or, if you prefer, you can donate money.

All your donations are recorded and a receipt is given that has a tax deduction. The total cost for one family is approximately €30 or €35 including nappies. Your monthly sponsorship of a family would help ensure they do not go hungry.

Lux Mundi Ecumenical Centre, Torre del Mar, Avda. Moscatel 1’I’), Torre del Mar. Open Wednesday and Friday 10.00 till 13.00.
