Everything is ready for the fifth edition of the “Solidarity Mussel Soup”, the charitable initiative, promoted by the CAAN in synergy with the Welfare and Productive Activities Departments of the Municipality of Naples, for the third consecutive year will be held today at the Center of First Reception in via De Blasiis. Here around a hundred homeless people and people living in conditions of socio-economic hardship, guests of the municipal reception facility, will be able to celebrate Holy Thursday thanks to the generosity of the operators of the Fish Market of the Volla agri-food center who, on the occasion of Easter, donate tons of fresh products for the preparation of traditional Neapolitan mussel soup. “This appointment, now fixed every year, today that ISTAT detects one in ten Italian families below the poverty threshold has an even more important symbolic value – explains the Welfare councilor Luca Fella Trapanese -. Our desire is to confirm every day all our commitment so that the resources and projects put in place are able to stem this rampant phenomenon, common to all large cities”.
“It is not the first time that CAAN accompanies us in this type of initiative – underlines the councilor for Productive Activities Teresa Armato -. And it does so by confirming not only excellence in the agri-food sector, but also by giving a sign of closeness and of solidarity with those people who live in conditions of greater hardship and vulnerability in our city”.
“We are very proud – states the CAAN president Carmine Giordano – to replicate this project once again. For our fish market, Holy Thursday is by far the day with the highest influx of buyers. Nonetheless, our operators do not they never shy away from the possibility of giving to charity, and for this I will never stop thanking them.” In addition to the fundamental generosity of fish wholesalers, the initiative makes use of the logistical support and collaboration of the Cooperativa Napoli Libera, as well as the “Antonio Esposito Ferraioli” professional institute for food and wine in Naples, whose teachers and students will take care of both the preparation of dishes and table service.
