VI Popular Walk in support of the Food Bank (October 8) I am a regular on the Popular Walk for the Food Bank, although this was the first time I had the opportunity to be a volunteer. I enjoyed the day, it was a different way of experiencing this activity, which gave me the feeling of helping a good cause, companionship with the volunteer team, and contact with the other participants. Very rewarding. Juan Manuel Para Molina Happy to have been able to contribute a grain of sand in collaboration with a magnificent organization like the Food Bank, so necessary in these times we live in. Through this small contribution, which we made as a family, we realized that with a little help from each volunteer, great things can be accomplished. Juana María Gómez Guerra 2023 Big Food Drive for the Food Banks (November 24,25 and 26) I always find collaborating with the Food Bank’s Big Food Drive totally amazing. You get to learn about and experience the realities of people who are extraordinarily altruistic and generous. We give a little of our time and receive a lot in return. Filipe Marques It has been enormously satisfying to take part in the Big Food Drive as a corporate volunteer, to contribute my bit to the cause, but also to meet the altruistic and generous volunteers. The experience is truly rewarding and greatly reinforces the feeling of solidarity and teamwork. Looking forward to doing it again. Evelyn Hormaechea Operación Kilo Spring/Summer Madrid and Valladolid (June 2 and 3) The least we can do is to share a few hours of our time helping out with the Food Bank, they do an extraordinary job supporting many families who are having a hard time. Our work is nothing compared to all the humanitarian work they do. Whenever I can I will try to get involved in this great solidarity event and I encourage more people to do the same. Gonzalo Daniel Escalante Durán XII Walk against Cancer AECC Valladolid (October 29) For me it was the first time I had volunteered and it was exceptional. Collaborating with the cause and seeing so many people doing the same thing is wonderful. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Antonio García Martín Workshop on social skills and cognitive stimulation Fundación Aldaba As a volunteer working with people at risk of social exclusion, it is a privilege to be able to take part in their recovery and integration. This path we are on to facilitate change is not an easy one, but it is undoubtedly enriching for all of us. Luis Miguel Díez Ruiz AFAVI Visit to the Chillida Leku museum in Hernani(September 30) Afternoon with the team in San Sebastián(October 28) Dedicating part of my free time to people with intellectual disabilities is one of the most enriching things I have ever experienced. An afternoon in the company of team AFAVI infects you with joy and love. One is given the gift of friendship with no limits or conditions by people who experience the world in a totally different way. Eunate Lopetegi Uson Almería AcogeHomework workshop (continued) It is immensely satisfying for me to be able to support these young people in their after-school classes and I will continue to be there whenever I can. These children and their families are socially disadvantaged and, through corporate volunteering, with a little effort, great results can be achieved. Their smiles also enrich our hearts.
