The mayor of Caravaca de la Cruz, José Francisco García, together with the councilor for Social Services, Isabel López, has been in one of the Caritas delegations to publicly thank "the donations that are being received by local companies and the priceless work of social volunteering, which takes on even more value in these situations and which is reinforced these weeks with Civil Protection moving to the homes of elderly users or other users who, for justified reasons, cannot cover their basic needs.
" "The three parishes in Caravaque have seen an increase in the number of users and, at the moment, serve close to 300 families, in addition to the forty people who have received the food vouchers distributed by the Red Cross," according to the Mayor, who has announced that the City Council of Caravaca de la Cruz has contemplated a grant of 21,000 euros in the municipal budget that will go towards the purchase of food distributed by Cáritas. In addition, José Francisco García has advanced that part of the announced subsidy of 127,000 euros that would correspond to Caravaca de la Cruz from the Central Government's National Contingency Fund will go to organizations that provide social support.
Although, within the project being prepared by the Northwest Community of Social Services to distribute this subsidy among the most affected social groups, direct aid will also be collected for families whose coverage of their basic needs has been affected by their socioeconomic circumstances.
"As soon as we have proof of when we will receive this grant, the recipients of these grants will be notified,which will be processed in the most agile way possible through the Northwest Commonwealth of Social Services based on regulated technical criteria.
" During the visit to the Caritas delegation of the parish of El Salvador, the mayor and mayor of Social Services were accompanied by the vicar of the area, Jesús Aguilar, and by several of the volunteers from the food bank, who encouraged them to collaborate with the organization, since there are more users and fewer volunteers, since they cannot count on many of their regular collaborators who, due to their age, must remain at home.
Also present was the president of the Local Red Cross Delegation, Elena Baquero, who reported that other extraordinary tasks they are carrying out are the distribution of medications to chronically ill patients that are supplied by the Health Center and the Northwest Regional Hospital. Within social measures, the mayor of Caravaca de la Cruz has reported that a total of 121 scholarships have been awarded to compensate for the absence of the school canteen service.
As explained, "these grants are financed by the Autonomous Community and the City of Caravaca and are delivered in the form of vouchers redeemable in food stores in Caravaque.
The objective is that, while schools remain closed, we guarantee the proper nutrition of those minors who during the course are awarded scholarships in the school canteen ". On the other hand, in this state of alarm, the Caravaca City Council continues to provide the Home Help Service 100%, with a total of 72 users residing in the urban area and in the districts.
The Northwest Commonwealth of Social Services continues to provide essential assistance programs for families at risk of social exclusion, and rents on social housing were suspended.
