But with the cost of living soaring across Europe, the 44-year-old father of three is one of a growing number of people in Spain turning to food banks to make ends meet.
Every Saturday Ramirez, who is from Venezuela, comes to this food bank set up by a neighbourhood association in the working-class district of Aluche during the pandemic to pick up food supplies.After paying their monthly rent of 800 euros and 300 euros for utilities"there is not much left," he said.Similar lines, dubbed"hunger queues", can be seen regularly outside of other food banks across the country.
Behind him dozens of other volunteers are busy at work, surrounded by boxes of pasta, canned goods and baby diapers. "With inflation, we are seeing a decrease in donations" since people have less money, said the spokesman for the Spanish Federation of Food Banks, Luis Miguel Ruperez.The federation collected 125 000 tonnes of food since January, compared to 131,000 tonnes during the same time last year.
