The campaign, which since 2009 has helped ensure access to basic food for vulnerable individuals, is made possible by the commitment of citizens, volunteers, social entities, distribution chains, and collaborating companies. This network enables Food Banks to continue collecting, recovering, and distributing food.
The participating local shops are Agrocomerç El Lago, Supermercat Condis, Queviures Can Bosch, and Agrobotiga Verntallat. Contributions can be made by purchasing 3€ tickets, which will go entirely to the Food Bank. The organization hopes this year's solidarity drive will be a great success.
The announcement highlights that poverty has changed its face, with an increasing number of people and families, even those employed, struggling to make ends meet. In Catalonia, one in four people lives at risk of poverty and/or social exclusion, approximately two million individuals, and around 1.8 million face significant difficulties in covering essential expenses.
