30TH EDITION OF THE NATIONAL FOOD COLLECTION DAY
Unipol has renewed its support for the Foundation Banco Alimentare (Food Bank) on the occasion of the 30th edition of the National Food Collection Day, reaffirming a partnership that has spanned 20 years.
The initiative will involve volunteers stationed at participating stores within the large-scale retail distribution network, who will be inviting the hundreds of thousands of people doing their grocery shopping to donate a portion of their purchases to help those in need.
The goal of this event is to raise awareness within civil society regarding the issue of poverty, drawing attention on the concepts of sharing, generosity, and charity, and to collect food items through donations from participants in line with the educational principle: “Sharing our needs to share the meaning of life.”
Once again this year, on November 14th, it will be possible to purchase non-perishable food items, such as oil, canned vegetables and legumes, tomato preserves, canned tuna and meat, and baby food, at thousands of supermarkets across Italy.
The food collected will be distributed by Banco Alimentare, an organisation that supports individuals and families in need every single day.
Online participation in the Food Collection Day will also be possible through dedicated platforms and purchasing channels.
