Every year, on the last weekend of November, food banks organize their National Collection in stores across France. Volunteers took place in front of the department's stores this Friday for this big call for solidarity. They will still be there on Saturday November 23 all day.
In the middle of the afternoon in the Leclerc store in the Clarac area, there were several on deck. Isabelle, Alexandre, Cassandra, Valérie etc, to solicit the Auscitains. “Everything is going well for the moment. People are generous. We hope, like every year, to reach 50 tonnes. This is our ceiling, and also our hope”, confides Valérie Blay, head of the food bank in Auch .
To do this, she can count on the help of volunteers from the food bank, but also of several associations who came to lend a hand, as well as high school students from the city's schools. Like Cassandra Fritz who represents the Regar association. “We come every year. The people we support are the first to benefit from these donation campaigns. It’s normal to participate,” says the young woman.
