Fresh and frozen food and hygiene and cleaning items This food distribution center, located on Obispo Pedro Gallego street, allows families in need to receive fresh and frozen food and hygiene and cleaning supplies.

To design the most effective social care and close, we rely on social entities, with which we work side by side to maintain projects like this commissary, which supports more than 1,300 Murcian families.
" Private and business donations The City Council and C ritas channel in a coordinated way all the donations that this project receives from both individuals and companies.
C ritas serves families referred by the municipal Social Services, who carry out continuous and exhaustive monitoring of the most vulnerable groups, which are those that require greater social support. The coordination maintained since the beginning of the pandemic by the social technicians of the City Council and C ritas has made it possible to reinforce the care provided from the 60 support points that this social entity has distributed throughout the municipality of Murcia . The Department of Social Rights and Family this year has provided funding of 475,000 euros to support the social plan developed by C ritas to support the neediest groups. The City Council has contributed 225,000 euros for the development of the set of actions to combat poverty and social exclusion in the municipality of Murcia that C ritas develops.
The beneficiaries are people living in poverty and social exclusion residing in the city of Murcia. Common work of Social Services and C ritas The Social Services of the Consistory and C ritas coordinate the coverage of basic needs to the most vulnerable population of Murcia, some groups with serious problems of social exclusion, a situation that has been particularly aggravated as consequence of the social crisis derived from the pandemic caused by Covid 19. The Government Team also contributed another 250,000 euros to C ritas that enabled the creation of a food delivery service that allowed covering the entire territory of the municipality of Murcia, reaching out to districts of Campo de Murcia that were devoid of this attention, such as Corvera, Valladolises and Cañada de San Pedro. Involvement of the Red Cross and the Food Bank The Red Cross and the Segura Food Bank also participated decisively in this project, to which the City Council also approved grants worth 250,000 euros for each.
The food delivery service that was established serves more than 2,000 people, of which more than 600 are minors. Among the joint actions carried out by the City Council and C ritas to face the social emergency caused by the pandemic is the creation of a specific fund of aid in kind for vulnerable families, the implementation of programs care for children in a situation of social exclusion, the management of direct financial aid and an information and guidance service for vulnerable people on benefits, aid and social resources of the administrations and C ritas through a call center.
