- Vamos Program

This program appears as an attempt to respond to the recognized needs that the beneficiary population undergo as regards their complete inability to raise the resources needed to pay for the expenses incurred by food transport.

The name “Vamos” encloses the idea of action, movement, common impulse between the institutions and the Fundación. It is an action in plural. We are all invited to join in our efforts and participate in order to make this a success.

- Vegetable Gardens Program

The Vegetable Gardens program began in 2007, aimed at going a step further into the problem of under-nourishment. We not only made sure that people received food every day but also focused our work on the quality of that food. Incorporating a greater amount of vegetables into the daily diet, more essential vitamins and minerals are consumed in order to lead as healthy a life as possible.

- Food Handlers

The workshop on Food Handling for Feeding and Community Centers is held for the purpose of training people in food handling, hygiene and innocuousness.

- Nutritional Orientation

The aim of this program is to provide nutritional advice to a universe of receiving entities that express the need, or where it is perceived, for advice not only for healthy people, but also for those who have diseases that require a special diet.

Advice is also provided as to the nutritional contribution of foods that are not a part of the feeding habits of the entities, and which, therefore, they are not used to incorporating into their menus, but which they receive through the Fundación.

This project seeks to contribute towards increasing the knowledge of the representatives of institutions as well as their beneficiaries, as regards the complex problem of food and nutrition, aiming at their participating actively.

Specific Goals

• Generate work spaces between the organizations and the institutions and FBA. Train beneficiaries and representatives of the organizations and institutions, so that they learn about the importance of nutrition in food. Establish “exchanging experiences” spaces with the different organizations.
