After almost 19 months since the pandemic started and now that there is already vaccination in a large part of the population, we should be experiencing a post-contingency and it is not like that, there are new strains of the coronavirus, a new wave of infections is already present in very Young people and children and our local authorities once again reduced the capacity of businesses, bars, restaurants, which were just beginning to recover their financial situation. A lot of people had sporadic or no pay for a long time and not all paychecks are back to normal. The pandemic reminded us that hunger exists in every community. We also know that the economic fallout from COVID-19 – ranging from job losses to heightened caregiving needs. Many people still need some help.
This crisis isn't over – thousand of people are still struggling to get enough food. As food bank we needs ongoing support from our community.
In recent months we have managed to serve more than 160,000 people weekly and that is thanks to the commitment and dedication of people like you, in this report, we want to show you a little of our work with some photographs that we have selected to share with you.
The support we provide is in two states of Mexico, we provide food support in the state of Puebla and in the state of Tlaxcala, and we have achieved it through more than 250 food delivery points and we also provide support to religious and civil institutions non-governmental. We have five dining rooms where we serve 60 people daily in each dining room at different addresses in the city of Puebla Capital.
