Today, Wednesday, the Solidarity Kitchen ‘Our Lady of Carmen de Bonanza’ received the city’s gold medal for the social work it carries out in the town. The award for this Cáritas Diocesana initiative was collected by Juan Pérez, director of Cáritas Diocesana, and Regina Arocha, coordinator of the Solidarity Kitchen.
The Sanlúcar City Council recognizes in this way the work that has been carried out in the Kitchen for 5 years, since in addition to satisfying the nutritional needs of the participating families, it is committed to their training and dignity, promoting their autonomy and making them participate in the process of food preparation and handling. And thanks to the continuous training that people who participate in the Kitchen receive, they can also expand their options for achieving employment.
Regina Arocha highlighted in her speech that “our project goes beyond offering a plate of food. We seek to promote the creation of bonds of solidarity among our participants, promoting their abilities to cook, share and live together.” That is why from these solidarity stoves “we promise to continue cooking with love and building a stronger and more supportive Sanlúcar de Barrameda for everyone.”
Renewal of the collaboration agreement with the Sanlúcar City Council
This week a new agreement was also signed between Cáritas Diocesana and the City Council, which demonstrates the commitment on the part of the City Council to continue supporting and collaborating with the work carried out in the Bonanza Kitchen.
From Cáritas Diocesana we appreciate this valuable contribution and collaboration that allows us to continue promoting this promotional project in which to date more than 400 beneficiaries have participated, referred by the local parish Cáritas.
