Community dining rooms in the last 10 years

IMG_9516compAccording to an article published in the newspaper La Nación on Saturday 4 February 2012, the community dining rooms that emerged in the midst of the 2001 economic crisis have been adapting in order to give all-round care to those who have been unable to get out of poverty.

We need volunteers!

clasificacion1

We have more than 100,000 kilos of food to sort! Before sending food to dining rooms, we have to check the majority of the food donations that we receive to ensure that they will arrive in optimum condition and that we can guarantee that they are suitable for consumption. So, we are organising ourselves into groups of 20 volunteers per shift in order to be able to complete the task. Anyone who wants to join in can choose the days and times that are convenient by completing a form (click here).  Remember, our address is: Luis Ma. Drago 5530, Munro.
