December, 2020
From November to December 2020, Caritas, an NGO in the district of Almassora in the province of Castellón, sent toys to families in need. All the toys were donated by UCE staff and distributed as Christmas gifts.
In addition, employees donated food items bought at supermarkets, which were collected by Caritas and distributed to families in the Almassora area.
| Purpose of Initiative (Objective) | This has always been a traditional charity event at UCE, but in 2020, due to Covid19, the demand was very high. The goal was to get UCE employees to participate more than ever. We also wanted to increase the number of participants by online. |

| Outcomes (Number of Beneficiaries, Outcomes, Comments from Participants) | In keeping with the Spanish tradition of gift-giving during the Christmas season and special reinforcement classes, the NGO allocated two toys to each child. A total of 400 kg of food donations were collected, with a total of 160 people receiving 10 kg of food per family (average of 4 people). |
