Madrid opens 22 spaces in the capital to collect aid for people affected by DANA in Valencia

The Madrid City Council, in collaboration with the Federation of Municipalities of Madrid (FMM), has allowed these 22 municipal spaces in the city (one in each neighborhood and one next to the Cibeles Palace, seat of the City Hall) that the Madrid residents can make donations of basic necessities (food) to help the Valencians after the tragedy they suffered.

Authorities warn that milk, water, infant formula, non-perishable products, canned goods and diapers are especially needed.

The 22 spaces will be operational from 7 p.m. this Friday afternoon and will now open their doors every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., in the presence of Environment staff and volunteers from Madrid.

The staff of the Municipal Police and SAMUR-Civil Protection will be responsible for classifying the material received and will transfer it to a centralized municipal warehouse that the Town Hall will allow for all donations, to then transfer it to the point activated in collaboration with the FMM where it will will be unified with donations from other municipalities and will be sent to Valencia.

Other cities are also opening their own collection centers for essential materials. The Alcalá de Henares Town Hall, for example, has set up a collection point at the Galatea Cultural Center. In this case, this is also done in collaboration with the FMM and with the Government Delegation in Madrid. It will open tomorrow, Saturday November 2, and will be located at Emilia Pardo Bazán Street, 3, in the Espartales neighborhood, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Associations, entities or organizations in the city that have already collected the material themselves can transfer it to the logistics center for electoral materials in the La Garena district of Alcalá de Henares, located on Euclides s/n street, after prior contact. for your deposit.

This center will become a large logistics warehouse in which all the aid coming from the municipalities of Madrid will be stored, and from there will be transported all the humanitarian aid materials that Madrilenians wish to send to those affected by the tragedy. DANA coordinates.

Both at the collection point and at the La Garena logistics center, only essential products will be collected (milk, water, formula, non-perishable products, canned goods, diapers, etc.).
