The 'You are not alone, together we will do it' program includes a home delivery service for purchases of basic necessities
The Cabildo will distribute food in their homes to vulnerable families with the 'They are not alone, together we will do it' program, in addition to facilitating the distribution of pharmaceutical products, medicines or food to people who lack support networks or are in a situation of dependency.
The program, which will begin to be applied starting this Monday, March 23, consists of two lines of action.
The first, aimed at individuals and families in situations of vulnerability or at risk of social exclusion, includes free delivery of food kits at home to guarantee food to those who need it, with a total of 1,000 kits initially available.
The second line of action is aimed at older people without support networks or people in situations of dependency, for whom an assistance service has been set up to purchase essential products, such as food or pharmaceutical products, facilitating logistics and carrying shopping to home.
The objective is "to help those who need it most and those who are most affected by the extraordinary measures derived from the alarm caused by the Coronavirus," explained the counsellor for Social Policies, Training and Human Resources, Víctor Alonso, for whom, in addition, in this way " displacement is avoided to the most vulnerable people, such as the elderly, who are the ones with the most reason to stay at home, ”he reasoned.
The "They are not alone, together we will do it" program of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura has the collaboration of the Mahore Association of social intervention, HiperDino, Padilla Spar Supermarkets, Pedrín Logistics and the six municipalities of the island.
To qualify for the program, a telephone service number has been set up (609400845), Monday through Friday from 09:00 to 13:00 and 17:00 to 20:00, as well as an email: programacovid19@cabildofuer.es
