Food insecurity is growing
While at the national level the demand is growing by 9% (200,000 more people welcomed in six months in the various meal distribution structures) and in a context of purchasing power and energy crises, the first aid network food industry in France calls for the commitment of all actors in the food sector: farmers, industrialists, distributors and public authorities…
“All must unite in a spirit of national solidarity to fight food insecurity“, invite the heads of the Ardèche association. A precarious situation that more than 16,500 people are now facing in the Drôme and Ardèche, with the takeover of the 85 partner associations of the Food Bank. Each year, the national collection makes it possible to distribute around 10% of the 264 million meals destined for the most needy.Exceptional in its organization and execution, the national collection of food banks will be, this year, more than in the past, one of the greatest solidarity challenges just a few days from the start of winter In 2021, the Drôme Ardèche Food Bank had collected 162 tons and this was insufficient to meet all the needs.
How about becoming a volunteer?
In addition to participating in the momentum of fraternity by becoming a donor, it is possible to commit oneself as a volunteer for a few hours during the national collection. In support of 7,000 volunteers throughout the year, 120,000 people across France don food bank colored vests to collect 20 million meals in one weekend. In addition to the collection of products in shops, the generosity of the French people will be able to express themselves on the online donation platform www.monpaniersolidaire.org to allow all those who do not go to the shop to participate in the national collection. .
