GASANMAMO INSURANCE TAKES A STAND AGAINST HUNGER

As part of their on-going effort to support great initiatives that have an instant impact on the community, GasanMamo Insurance organised an internal company food-drive, between the 18th and 24th March 2016. The food-drive was held at their office to support Food Bank Malta.
GasanMamo employees were asked to donate non-perishable goods, such as canned goods, legumes, pasta and rice, oil and household items. These items were collected over the five-day period before the Easter long weekend. “This was an excellent occasion for GasanMamo to get involved in an endeavour that has an immediate beneficial effect on those barely managing to scrap by in our local community” said Julian J. Mamo, Managing Director at GasanMamo.
Founded and managed by the Alliance Foundation in 2014, Food Bank Malta’s mission is simple: to act as the pantry to families within the community who struggle to put food on the table. For every eight people in Malta, there is one person who relies on Food Bank Malta, as their source of food every month. This poverty does not discriminate to any one particular locality, and is spread across the Island. Food Bank Malta’s efforts over the years have seen it support those under financial strains, including the families of children or parents with disabilities, those incapacitated due to ill-health, separated women and the recently unemployed.
GasanMamo collected over 15 boxes of goods through-out the drive. These were then collected by Food Bank Malta
