Like the rest of Spain, Valencia is on high alert until June 7 due to the health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In Alicante, the second-largest city of Valencia, people have started a volunteer campaign to provide free meals to the needy.

Restaurants' employees, farmers, people in social service organizations, and other volunteers are working together, "making meals until there is nothing left in the fridge," donating their products and delivering food items in poor neighborhoods.
