Supermarkets with a cause: Bon Preu y Esclat

Jan 29 2018

Some days ago we talked about the importance that brands have a strong social commitment. In fact, according to the study titled “Brands with values ®: The power of the consumer-citizen, nearly 60% of population prefer those brands that respect environment, cares about social aspects or take care of their employers.

That’s why every time there are more companies which use one of our fundraising channels in order to show their social commitment and empower their customers to make their little contribution.

In this context, Bon Preu y Esclat Supermarket has launched two new challenges so that their customers can make their little contribution:

Smiles in the operating rooms: cent to cent, the aim is to help the NGO Pallapupas to accompany 70 children during their surgery process and relieve the situation of nervousness and stress.

Sharing food: the population with lack of food resources is increasing, a situation that has been aggravated by the economic crisis. With the help of the customers of Bon Preu 50 people will receive a daily food during one month through Nutrición Sin Fronteras.

How they can collaborate?

The customers of Bon Preu y Esclat can collaborate trough the accumulated money in their customer card. They can do it in the Private Space of the web or through the app BonpreuEsclat. More information HERE.

Veterinary assistance for animals of homeless people

Jan 17 2018

Did you know that it is estimated that between 5-10% of homeless people have a pet that provides them with deep emotional support?

Animals do not judge, they do not discriminate, they provide a sense of self-esteem and they offer unconditional loyalty. In fact, according to various studies carried out on homeless people, animals foster a sense of responsibility and they reward with affection the fulfilment of this responsibility. In addition, by acting as silent witnesses, they can steer their owners away from risky behaviours, thus allowing the construction of a positive moral identity. Moreover, homeless people who share their lives with pets are less likely to be depressed and are less likely to exhibit potentially harmful behaviours, such as drug use.

Homeless people cannot afford veterinary assistance for their pets so, in this context, Fundación Altarriba wants to provide solutions to this problem and pay for veterinary expenses of these animals.

As you know, the community of Mascoteros has been collaborating with us in the financing of different social projects related to animal cause. From its beginning they have collaborated with Fundación Daina and Amigos del Perro to facilitate a home for abandoned dogs.

They have the opportunity now to collaborate with Fundación Altarriba to facilitate homeless people with pets have access to veterinary services.

With their help, 100 pets of homeless people will have access to veterinary assistance.
