Through it, the company makes an amount of money available, which this year was $600,000, so that it is the volunteers themselves who decide, through a project competition, which institutions in their community they decide to help.

Lucas Divito, Agustina Castellani, Silvana Cerella, Stella Cialdo, Claudia Eberle, Elizabeth Girotti and Agustina Battistin are the Volunteers who presented the winning project and work at Molino Canepa. They are related to the Merendero through participation in social activities, as well as collections and donations.

It is important to highlight here, that for the construction of the barbecue area, the contribution of Dr. Luis Fernando Antonelli, who has been actively collaborating with the Merendero for more than 5 years, was also added.

In this year's edition of the "Campo Social" program, there were also 4 other projects from the cities of Carlos Casares, San Miguel Del Monte, Jesus Maria and Lomas de Zamora.
