Acolad Team Rallies Support for Madrid Food Bank
Donations to the food bank will go towards helping hundreds of families in difficult situations.
Acolad teams in Spain started the year giving back to local communities in a special collaboration with the Food Bank of Madrid to raise much-needed donations for hundreds of families in difficult situations. Operation Online Kilo opened in late November 2023 and accepted donations until January 9th.
“Ubiqus had been supporting the Madrid Food Bank for many years and we are more than thrilled to be embracing this same initiative at Acolad,” said Rocco Filomeno, General Manager Southern Europe. “It is incredible to see that both companies, now merged, are united by this same giving spirit. The impact we can have as one single brand is huge!”
Acolad made its own financial donation to the campaign, and colleagues made individual contributions. The amount raised has had a large impact in the local community, helping the food bank to distribute basic non-perishable goods and a daily meal to more than 160,000 people through 568 charities.
What is a Food Bank?
Food banks are non-profit charitable organizations that distribute food to those who have difficulty purchasing enough to avoid hunger, usually through intermediaries like food pantries and soup kitchens. Want to help your local food bank? Find a credible Food Bank near you.
