- The association is the winner of the Special Employee Award, within the call for the 2023 Social Value Awards, and has been able to acquire a new electric forklift
This new machinery has improved safety measures when driving and maneuvering, and is perfect for use according to the dimensions of the organization's food hangar, making daily management easier when organizing food packages. To date, the work of the Food Bank reaches 17,000 people annually in Campo de Gibraltar, distributing 1.2 million kilos last year.
Estrella Blanco, manager of Fundación Cepsa, who visited along with Óscar Sobrino, sponsor of the organization, has highlighted “the work carried out by the Food Bank, which supports thousands of people in the region with something as basic as being able to have a meal on the table. An admirable task that we must support as a society, all together to the best of our abilities.”
Meanwhile, José Serrano, president of the Food Bank, has emphasized, “it has greatly facilitated our task and efficiency in managing the organization of distributions, in addition to increasing safety measures.”
The Social Value Awards
These awards are one of the stand-out initiatives of Fundación Cepsa. The aim of the awards is to provide support to individuals, associations, and underprivileged sectors of society so as to foster a spirit of solidarity and promote educational and sustainable development through the involvement of Cepsa staff, who sponsor the programs that the associations of the Campo de Gibraltar region submit as candidates to receive the Social Value Awards. The next convocation will be in September 2024.
