- Mallplaza joins the initiative “SiEmpre por Chile,” promoted by the CPC and Movidos por Chile, contributing food hampers to benefit over 9,700 families in 11 municipalities in Santiago, Antofagasta, Copiapó and Concepción.
Santiago, 1 June 2020 – Over 9,700 families from the territories where Mallplaza has a presence will receive a box of staple foods as part of the shopping center company’s social actions to accompany neighbors who have been hit the hardest by the economic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
This morning, Mallplaza Egaña assistant manager Alfonso Adrover delivered the first 350 of a total of 1,050 food hampers to La Reina Mayor José Manuel Palacios to begin their distribution to the most vulnerable neighbors in the municipality.
“At Mallplaza we know our neighbors and communities and are aware that the health crisis is also impacting them economically, especially our most vulnerable neighbors.
For this reason, we will be providing 1,050 food hampers here in La Reina over the next three months,” Mallplaza Egaña deputy manager Alfonso Adrover said.
“I am very grateful. Today we need all hands on deck to reach all of the people who are suffering from the pandemic. Mallplaza has had to close its doors but has wanted to cooperate anyway. There are business organizations that have not been as heavily affected and we call on them to show solidarity. We call on all those organizations to follow their example,” said La Reina Mayor José Manuel Palacios.
“We believe that this articulation between Mallplaza, the CPC and Movidos x Chile is an example of a Chile in transformation, beginning with the willingness, support and commitment to generate a chain of solidarity and go in support of families that are currently in economic difficulties because of the pandemic,” said Pablo Flores of Movidos x Chile.
The initiative will be replicated in different cities around the country, renewing the commitment Mallplaza has had to its neighboring communities in its 29 years of history.
