Subject to annual renewal and valued at €3,000 in 2019, the assistance package has grown ten-fold in 2020 to met the evolving needs around the Covid-19 public health crisis.

The money will fund food packages for at-risk individuals and families, and the assistance will be administered with help from the Department of Social Welfare. Department chief Rafael Ramírez was on hand at the signing as well, along with the group’s secretary, Teresa Costa. The €30,000 assistance package will benefit a food voucher programme, food deliveries and other initiatives. Ferrer and Ramírez thanked the representatives of the non-profit for their work in support of some of the most vulnerable members of the local population.
