The Restos du Coeur d'Aurillac distribute nearly 277,000 meals at more than 2100 beneficiaries each year. How is the winter campaign going?
Increase and decrease
There are about fifty more beneficiaries compared to the same period last winter according to Pierre bouches the president of the Restos du Coeur du Cantal. The winter campaign is marked by an increase in beneficiaries but also a drop in pickups. 80 % it went to 60 % explains Pierre Bouchisse
Every morning, we tour Aurillac supermarkets, from Monday to Saturday. And supermarkets, it is the Garot law to avoid food waste, so they give us limits of expiration but which are still good, which will be expired in a day or the same day or the next day. So, in Aurillac, there has been the impact of giant's closure, and there is also the fact that large areas now may manage their stock better and also sell these expiration limit products, with a large discount , so they give us less.
To redo the stocks, the restaurants of the heart will need arms for their big collection in March. Registrations are already open.
