A message of gratitude from Age Concern Estepona y Manilva to those on the Costa del Sol in Spain

AGE CONCERN Estepona y Manilva would like to thank all those working hard to help their Welfare Officer, Marie-Andrée Gleeson and her team deliver meals and food, three to four times a week, to nearly 100 people in need in the Estepona and Manilva Community.

The Charitable Society of St George and Collective Calling are working with Age Concern Estepona y Manilva to ensure that nobody in need is forgotten. Marie-Andrée is also liaising with Social Services and Protection Civil.

The group would also like to thank: Victoria, who is making dozens of much needed face masks; Fate Foods for their three times a week donations of food and for containers given to distribute the food in; Willem Van Beek, the Dutch Butcher Guillermo, in La Heredia who is donating 100 portions of pasta with beef a week until the crisis is over; all those home cooks who are making cakes and meals to be distributed; Indian Spice Restaurant Benahavis for donating food containers; Liam the Butcher in Benavista for giving ACEyM a discount on purchases. Michele Yanez is organising food preparation and delivery (with the help of Andrew Sprake) to Marie-Andrée for distribution.

Even though the charity shop remains closed, you can call Age Concern’s Advice Line, 650 163 928, or you can email Marie at  ageconcernestepona@gmail.com.
