The non-profit organization Esperanza y Vida Canarias 2019 wanted to celebrate the Canary Islands Day in a special way, attending, as it has done every day since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, to the numerous families in vulnerable situations who have contacted the NGO at some point since the beginning of the crisis.
This time it has done so in a special way: delivering from this noon to each of these people a Canarian menu and whose main dish, octopus and squid chickpea stew, has been made by the renowned chef Germán Blanco, who decided to collaborate from the first moment with the organization and thus contribute his grain of sand to the cause undertaken by Esperanza y Vida since its foundation last year.
Armando Santana, who among other responsibilities in the Arrecife city council is councilor of Hospitality donated all the products for the elaboration of this solidarity menu, and thanked Germán Blanco for his commitment to this noble cause. "The people of the hospitality industry are always there when they are needed, and this is an example of it"
The headquarters of the NGO located in Calle Triana number 37 in Arrecife began to receive from 12 noon the first families that have been attending during these past months, even before the start of the health depression. With this initiative, Esperanza y Vida aims to make these hard times that all these families are going through more bearable, celebrating the day of our community in this special way and so that there is no family on the island that cannot enjoy this day tasting this menu made with products from our traditional cuisine and under the baton of a great professional and wide connoisseur of the excellences of our culinary traditions.
Finally, from Esperanza y Vida they point out that "they will continue working so that there is not a single person on the whole island, who is going through difficult times, who is left unattended in food and/or nutritional matters or with the need to have basic cleaning or hygiene products".
