The Town Hall of La Réole is launching an appeal for citizen mobilization for the upcoming National Food Bank Collection. This solidarity event will take place on November 6, 7, and 8, 2026, across the country.
Volunteers, identifiable by their 'Orange Vests,' will be present in partner stores to collect non-perishable food items and essential hygiene products from the public. The volunteers' mission will be to welcome and inform customers, receive food donations, and help box the collected items.
This collection is crucial for replenishing the Food Banks' stocks, which are facing a 20% increase in the use of food aid. It represents approximately 10% of the annual supply needs and allows for the distribution of the equivalent of 20 million meals each year. The call is open to anyone willing to donate a few hours of their time to make a concrete and impactful difference.
It is possible to join an existing team or come as a group with friends and family. The organization emphasizes that 'a few hours are enough to make a difference' and that 'every gesture counts more than ever.'
