The Legacy regularly collaborates with two institutions in which Alejandro Montejo, our commercial director, is also a frequent volunteer. The first is the San José Social Dining Roomwhich since 2017 serves up to 250 meals daily to people in need, shooting up its daily demand to more than 1,000 meals during the hardest months of the coronavirus pandemic.
Both the homes and the dining room are non-profit organizations.
there are also the Homes Maria de Villotathree homes that They provide shelter, lodging and maintenance to mothers – with or without babies – in situations of extreme difficulty and social exclusion. In addition, it helps the social integration of these mothers with workshops and activities that allow them to carve out a decent future. These two social projects They are nourished by the work of volunteers and the support of the Legacy of María de Villota – as well as donations – but they have big expenses and need financial support in these times of high inflation.

The same is true in homes, and in both cases, they need help with their day-to-day operating expenses. The necessary investment exceeds 23,000 euros.
