Show your love by donating food this Valentine’s

by Specsavers
(Marbella)

Specsavers Opticas are asking people to show their love for the most disadvantaged in their community by making a small food donation this month. Their stores in Marbella and Fuengirola are collecting non-perishable food for Bancosol throughout the month, and hope residents will get behind the campaign by donating oil, tinned fish, preserved meat and meals in a can such as soups and stews.

The Costa del Sol’s Food Bank is Bancosol, a non-profit organisation founded in 1998. Since then it has been growing and changing to adapt to the constantly increasing number of people who need them and provide as much as they possibly can. In 2016 they distributed 6 million kilos of food to 50,000 disadvantaged people in the Malaga province and always need more donations.

From the 1st to the 28th of February, anyone can drop off their food at Specsavers Opticas in Marbella or Fuengirola during opening hours. At the end of the month, it will be donated to Bancosol Food Bank, for them to distribute in the community via partnerships with local charitable organisations.
