| Six organizations take over from the Social Emergency Operation to distribute basic products | The Cartagena City Council and the six social entities that take over from the social emergency device will share their information in the same database to organize the distribution of food.
The integration of all entities in the computer application "will guarantee greater efficiency in the distribution and more justice in the distribution of food and basic products," according to the vice mayor and head of the Social Care area, Noelia Arroyo.Representatives of the Red Cross, the Food Bank, Cáritas, El Buen Samaritano, Sena and El Caire de Cartagena have participated in a coordination meeting in which vice-mayor and head of the Social Welfare Area have participated, Noelia Arroyo, the councilor for Services Social, Mercedes García, the special delegate councilor for Sustainable City and European Projects, Cristina Mora, who was ultimately responsible for the device and technicians of the Department of Social Services.The vice-mayor has thanked her for her participation and collaboration with the social emergency device that the city council started following the declaration of the state of alarm and which has carried out nearly 4,000 food deliveries for 13,500 users.
"In this second phase of the device, it is the entities that assume all the distribution of basic products, but they are going to carry it out in a network with the city council, with a coordinated work and sharing information to reach more people in a fairer way", Arroyo has stressed.The participation of the entities is much more valuable at a time when the teams of the Department of Social Services are going to have to face a greater over-effort for the management of aid to families affected by the crisis and by the obligations attributed to the municipalities in the management of the Minimum Vital Income.
