.The food bank is a volunteer-based organization whose objective is to recover food, especially non-perishable, from companies and supermarkets, through officially recognized charitable and social assistance institutions that have the closest contact with groups of people in need , avoiding any waste or misuse.These are non-profit organizations based on volunteerism and whose objective is the collection, storage and distribution of food to make it reach officially recognized charities, which help those most in need, thus collaborating in the fight against waste, to the social integration of people in danger of exclusion, and to protect the environment by avoiding the destruction of food.Food from the Segura Food Bank has been destined for Cáritas de las Tres Ave Marías, mainly because Cáritas de Santiago has other management and logistical organization of food storage and distribution to the neediest families.
In this case, Cáritas de Santiago is supplied by the Spanish Red Cross Food Bank.
