This social action, promoted by the Citizen Services Group in collaboration with the charitable organisation Banco de Alimentos, was carried out between 16 and 20 March, during which FCC employees donated products such as baby formula, cereals, pulses, canned foods, rice, pasta and nappies.

The donated products were delivered to different food banks belonging to the Spanish Federation of Food Banks (FESBAL), which has fifty centres that are responsible for distributing food amongst the most vulnerable families and people in Spain.

The work carried out by FCC volunteers has been instrumental for the execution of "Operation Kilo", given that the collaborators wanted to take part by not only contributing food items, but also by delivering them to the regional offices of the Banco de Alimentos in other cities. For this reason, Banco de Alimentos has expressed their thanks to all FCC employees who contributed to this campaign.

The donated food products and other items will be shared out among other charitable organisations, which provide daily assistance to people in need through residences, soup kitchens, welfare activities, etc. in the bid to alleviate the tough situation that many people find themselves in.

The fundamental work carried out by FESBAL has been awarded with the Prince of Asturias Award for Concord for its active contribution towards the fight against hunger.

FCC, stemming from its social commitment, wanted to support this solidarity initiative which aims to raise awareness of the shortages in our environment and to help those most in need.
