The disaster caused by DANA in Valencia generated a wave of solidarity throughout Spain. We find a good example at the Valencia Food Bank, where there are between five and six million food products. In addition, 22 tons of food are stored in the so-called “solidarity warehouse”.
Thus, charities They ask that we no longer send food nor hygiene producer, and explain that the most effective donations are financial donations.
“The experience of this type of emergency shows us that financial donation It is the most effective resource to be able to send the response more quickly”, explains María Trenor, communications director of the Spanish Red Cross.
Sending financial resources allows field managers to decide at any time which resources are needed and purchase them from local businesses, reduce costs and contribute to the recovery of the local economy. In addition, it allows those most affected to have a more complete diet.
