Bamadrid

The Food Bank of Madridhas made available to all Spaniards an application to donate alimentos This year, being supportive is going to be easier than ever. Those who decide not to give anything of themselves are running out of excuses, when they should be aware that a little does a lot. The app, which is available for on Android as on iOS, is calledBamadrid and has been developed by the consultancy Everis and the Electronic Money Institution SEFIDE.

Although the application is launched in full Christmas campaigns, We must not forget that this type of action can (and should) be carried out throughout the year, since many families are below the poverty line in Spain: in May of this year una out of every five families in Spain earned less than €8,011 per year, the risk rate of over 65 rose one point and 28'8% of the under the age of 16 lived below the poverty line (1 of every 3). Some terrible figures that, although the solution is not found in the ordinary citizen, yes that everyone, according to their possibilities, can do even a little and donate some basic foodat local and community banks in each city.
