Argentina - Salesians and "IRSA Foundation" unite to provide food assistance to families
Santa Fe, Argentina - January 2024 - According to INDEC (Argentina's National Institute of Statistics and Census) data, poverty rates in the country are alarming, with many families lacking the resources to meet their basic needs. Many families ministered to by the Salesian presences in Santa Fe and Rosario also live in this condition. Hence, the Salesian Family is mobilizing resources to support people in families suffering the scourge of poverty and destitution and are literally on the streets. Thanks to collaboration with the 'IRSA Foundation', the Salesians of Santa Fe and Rosario have helped more than 240 vulnerable families from the neighbourhoods of Ludueña, Los Hornos, Hipódromo and San José. In particular, bags containing foodstuffs were donated to the three Caritas offices, located in the "Domenico Savio" and "San José" churches and the "Don Bosco" parish. In addition to the delivery of food aid, a support network has been set up that includes technical training workshops and job placement possibilities.
