(ANSA) – ROME, NOVEMBER 28 – The food collection, in its 25th year, is back in attendance. One hundred and forty thousand volunteers, in compliance with the rules, returned to almost 11 thousand supermarkets to propose a simple but concrete gesture of solidarity. “A gesture capable of uniting in a moment in which everything seems to want to divide us: from the resumption of the virus, to the growing infections, to economic insecurity. our children, all of them, and they can achieve authentic solidarity and social cohesion “recalls Giovanni Bruno, president of the Food Bank Foundation Onlus.
This year with the Colletta about 7,000 tons of food have been collected, the equivalent of 14 million meals, despite the particular time and inconvenience due to bad weather in many places. The amount collected, together with what is recovered from the Food Bank in its ordinary activity throughout the year, will be distributed in the coming weeks to approximately 7,600 charitable structures that assist over 1.7 million people.
The collection continues online until 10 December on Amazon.it/bancoalimentare and on the website https://www.colletta.bancoalimentare.it, until 5 December on Esselunga.it and on Easycoop.com. From Sunday 28 November to Sunday 5 December 2021, the Food Collection also continues through the Epipoli Charity Cards, of 2, 5 or 10 euros, available in the supermarkets participating in the initiative or online at www.mygiftcard.it. The donations will then be converted into alimony. (HANDLE).
