The organizers of the 35th Floral Athletic Offering Virgen de Candelaria made the delivery this Wednesday of over a ton and a half of non-perishable food. These products were collected from runners who participated in this sporting event, which has become a prominent fixture of the festivities honoring the patron saint.
The donated solidarity food items will be directly distributed among the municipality's most vulnerable families through the social work of Cáritas.
“"Municipal representatives expressly thanked the involvement of Domingo Álvarez and the company Med Salud Sports, represented by David González, as the main promoters of this initiative that combines sport, tradition, and solidarity in Candelaria."
The official reception of the food was attended by the Rector of the Basilica, Fray Dailos José Melo González. He welcomed the municipal delegation, which was led by the mayor of Candelaria, Mari Brito, and the councilor for Institutional Relations, Francisco Pinto.
With this thirty-fifth edition, the Floral Athletic Offering once again demonstrates the impressive social commitment of the municipality's athletes and residents towards those most in need, reaching a record figure of over a ton and a half of aid this year.
