Segovia, April 26, 2023.- The first phase of the Plan 2023 of Aid to the most needy distributes more than 41,500 kilos of food in the province of Segovia.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, through the Spanish Agricultural Guarantee Fund (FEGA), launches the second phase of the European Aid Fund for the Most Disadvantaged People (FEAD) 2022 Program, in which about 50,683,743 kilos or liters of food will be distributed throughout the Spanish territory.
This second-phase volume of food accounts for 64 percent of the total amounts distributed in the 2022 program.
In total, in the province there are 23 charities participating in this second phase, whose distribution is commissioned by the Red Cross and the Food Bank.
The Government’s deputy delegate, Lirio Martín, puts the number of people who will benefit from the program in this second phase of this year’s plan at 3,205.
Lirio Martín has visited the facilities where the Red Cross stores the products until their distribution.
The foods that are distributed at this stage are white rice, cooked chickpeas, canned tuna, meat preserves, spaghetti, noodles, fried tomatoes, biscuits, vegetable smears, soluble cocoa and children’s fruit and chicken tarrites.
In total, the value of the products that will be distributed in this phase amounts to 68,595 euros.
Food from this first phase accounts for approximately 30 percent of the total to be distributed in 2023, the second phase of which will begin next September.
The food purchased is basic, varied, nutritious, unperishable, easy to transport and storage.
The purchase of food for this programme has been carried out through two public tender processes, funded in full by the Resilience and Recovery Fund WORD, which has been used to increase support for the European Fund for the Most Deprived (FEAD).
