(Via e-mail) "Do you know if anyone is collecting food donations for local people in need in Jimena area? I know there was a collection over Christmas but have not heard of anything since. Also could you remind us all about the ongoing collection of clothes which I know happens at the Casa de Cultura in Estación. I am not sure about their opening hours or whether they also want household items, toys etc as well as clothes. I’m sure lots of people would like to do what they can to support our community at this very difficult time." We have the answers below, but up here we can tell you what we heard from the Councillor in charge of Social Services, María José Pro: "Things are very, very difficult in Jimena right now. There are a lot of families needing help and I notice a big difference with the situation compared to last year. We really need all the help we can get.">>>
