We are just a few weeks away from the end of 2020 and, undeniably, we will all be glad to see this year come to an end. COVID-19 has caused great turmoil worldwide and Majorca has not been spared.
Among such uncertainty and struggle, the Mallorca Preservation Foundation (Fundación para la Conservación de Mallorca) has proposed that we join an aid programme with the aim of bringing some light to the daily existence of many Majorcans, which has lately been rather grey.
Majorca Produces – Urgent Aid
This initiative is born out of a desire to help those in the greatest need and is proof that joining forces we can find great solutions even in the direst situations. An example of such solutions is providing fresh produce to 1,500 families for 2 months and helping small ecological producers on the island who, due to the pandemic, have experienced a drastic reduction in demand for their products.
To solve both problems, the Cooperative of Majorcan Ecological Farmers (Cooperativa de Pagesos Ecològics de Mallorca) has launched a proposal for the purchase of products that will guarantee an income to their members. The products, in turn, will be donated to the “Tardor” soup kitchen to feed vulnerable families.
Preserving the island also guarantees the well-being of its inhabitants.
The Mallorca Preservation Foundation intends to fund the purchase of sustainable local produce, raising €15,000 to maintain this aid for 2 months.
At Grupo Ferrá we feel truly proud and grateful to live on an island where hardship unites us more than ever, giving rise to such humane, supportive and effective initiatives as Majorca Produces – Urgent Aid. For this reason, when we were asked to contribution we did not hesitate.
Do you also want to help guarantee well-being on Majorca?
One of the elements that has surprised us the most about the programme to support the Majorca Produces – Urgent Aid programme is that 100% of the contribution that we make will be directly used for the project. This means that there will be no administrative fees. All the donations will directly reach those in need.
So far, the Mallorca Preservation Foundation has raised €5,000. If you also want to join this initiative, contact them by clicking here.
