Elche CF strengthens ties with the community through social and solidarity actions
Elche CF aims to steadily expand its social and solidarity program, bringing the club closer to diverse groups throughout the city, with a particular focus on those facing the greatest challenges. In recent days, the Franjiverde A team, together with club leaders, visited several nursing homes across the municipality to lift the spirits of residents. The response was heartfelt, with many recalling themselves as fans and subscribers of Elche from their younger days.
This ongoing effort aligns with the club’s cooperation with the Turkey Peñas Federation in collecting toys, hygiene products, and cleaning supplies. The initiative has been a resounding success, reflecting the club’s commitment to giving back to the community in meaningful ways.
