Empresas DelyComida SV y Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador handing out food to the homeless.

CDS not only responded to emergencies on December 31st and early morning of January 1, 2021. CDS also collaborated with DelyComida SV Company, who opened their hearts to present an exquisite dinner to homeless people in the vicinity of Parque Libertad in San Salvador.

Inside an ambulance, the Rescue Commandos transported containers of food for about a hundred people who do not have a roof to sleep under and whose nightly refuge is under the portals of La Dalia in Parque Libertad.

Women with children in their arms, the elderly and young people obtained an excellent New Year’s Eve dinner that was financed by the DelyComida SV Company who made available part of their time and products that were shared with those in need.

The people who benefited from the food thanked the representatives of DelyComida SV and CDS for the noble gesture that made them enjoy a good farewell meal of the year.
