Cabildo will distribute food and medicine at home to people in vulnerable situations

[Can the Man]

I just st hope they have some English speaking people on the other end of the phone to help some elderly ex pats. British & Irish

Don't waste your time phoning folks, the number 609400845 is unobtainable. Am I surprised?

[milestone 11]

Not a problem Sam, I will gladly phone them and pass on details including whether English is spoken.
I happen to be in the lucky position of having a neighbour who makes regular contact and is perfectly happy to get a few items from the supermarket for me. Sadly, not all are in that enviable position. I happen to be in the vulnerable group and would rather not go out unless absolutely necessary.

Hello Milestone
Not sure what part of the island you are in but if you're in the north I can always stand in as a personal shopper if the need arises. You're welcome to PM me to make arrangements if required, just note I don't normally log on until latish evenings.
Keep safe!

Thanks Tamara, yes, I'm in Corralejo. Thanks for the offer, I'm in the enviable position of having neighbours who will get most things that I need. Took myself to Marcial for potting compost because I didn't have the temerity to ask them to get that. Nice to know though, that Mercadona are pulling the oldies out of the queue and giving them priority.
I've recently recovered from pneumonia which hospitalised me for three weeks so there's a certain reluctance on my part to take unnecessary risks.

As expected, the number which the Cabildo has given is unobtainable. Dialling 609400845 leads to an automated message, in Spanish only, saying that the number called, 639201191 is unobtainable. Whether one would get any response on the supplied email, I don't know, I haven't tried. As a matter of interest, I shall try that later but I'm doubtful that the response will be any different.

One has to laugh, else you'd bloody cry.
Having tried repeatedly to telephone this service without success, I have, as mentioned earlier, tried to email them. Don't bother phoning. Don't bother emailing. The email resulted in this,

The given E-Mail address "programacovid19@cabildofuer.es." is invalid.

From the Cabildo.

Of course it's not valid, try to remove the dot at the end    

I took the email from your first message Sam, maybe you could edit it please. I'll try again.

Yep, sent this time. I await a response.
