Description
Supporting Mónica’s epic 1-day walking challange from the Gran Canaria coastal capital, Las Palmas, to the island summits. 30km, rough terrain, climbing 1500m over a mountain.
Every donation here helps a local family in real need. The Food Project recieves no local government assistance, and so have to rent their community facility privately. They are supported by The Food Bank of Las Palmas, but they survive only thanks to your generosity.
The project is volunteer-led and they are a vital life line for more than 500 individuals every week, doing much more than just feed empty bellies: they act as a vital community hub coordinating donations of food and clothing, shoes, furniture even mobility scooters, and provide a qualified social worker who helps to guide each individual through their life projects… and so much more besides… here is a little window on to what they have to spend…
