Diapers of different sizes should be incorporated for children The Social Report is fundamental Blankets and hygiene kits for the homeless people should be distributed FEAD foods are correct and adequate Women's hygiene products should be incorporated The Program would have to allow the imputation of transportation expenses to bring food to people and families in isolated areas, with people with disabilities or with children under 1 year.
We are asked our opinion to improve the Program The accompanying measures are sufficient Diapers should be incorporated for adults with incontinence The complexity, bureaucracy and paperwork of the Program has discouraged us It would be better to give a card to families in need to buy where they want and the products they need The frequency of food distribution is too low There are families and people who are not registered and cannot get the Social Report The dedication that we assume is excessive and we cannot continue with the resources that we have We are making alternative programs that seem more suitable to us Families that receive food have found other alternative resources that better meet their needs Families receiving food are not interested in the products
% There are very few or no families that need food in our area
The aspects in which there was “total agreement” were the following:
❚ Some 75% thought that baby’s nappies of various sizes should be incorporated.
❚ Some 67% thought that the Social Report is essential to give food.
❚ Some 60% indicated that feminine hygiene products should be incorporated.
❚ Some 57% thought that blankets, hygiene kits and food packages should be distributed for ho- meless people.
❚ Some 48% considered that the programme should allow transport costs to be covered for taking food to people who are in isolated areas, people without mobility and with children under 1 year of age.
The opinions with which there was absolute disagreement were the following:
❚ There are very few or no families who need food in our area (80%).
❚ The families who receive food are not interested in the products (67%).
❚ The families have found other alternative resources that better cover their needs (63%).
❚ We are making alternative programmes that seem more suitable to us (61%).
If the statements that produced a certain consensus (“total agreement” and “partial agreement”) are analysed, the first three would be the following: it is necessary to distribute baby’s diapers (95%), the So- cial Report is fundamental (92%), is necessary to distribute blankets and hygiene kits for homeless people (87%).
