As part of its ongoing effort to support community initiatives, GasanMamo Insurance organised an internal food drive at its office to support Food Bank Malta.

Employees were asked to donate non-perishable goods, such as cans of food, legumes, pasta and rice, oil and household items, collected over Easter.

“This was an excellent occasion for the company to get involved in an endeavour that has an immediate beneficial effect on those barely managing to scrape by in our local community,” said managing director Julian Mamo.

Founded and managed by the Alliance Foundation in 2014, Food Bank Malta’s mission is to act as the pantry for families 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, but is spread across the country. Food Bank Malta’s efforts over the years have seen it support those under financial strains, including the families of children or parents with disability, those incapacitated due to ill-health, separated women and the unemployed.

GasanMamo collected over 15 boxes of goods throughout the drive.
