Faced with the 12% increase in beneficiaries, the food aid network is appealing for donations, which are insufficient in these times of health crisis.
Like a date. Every morning, around thirty associations come to the food bank warehouse to get their supplies. And star Christmas products are in high demand right now. Didier Simonnot, vice-president of Fraternal help at Ris-Orangis (Essonne), must measure what it takes, to leave to other associations, because food is scarce: “We need it for everyone, there are other associations that will come.“ The stocks come from donations, or products close to the deadline, and especially from the last collection which turned out to be insufficient.
“We had a target of 23 million meals, and we have only totaled 20 million so far”, explains Solène Job, coordinator of the national collection for the Food Bank. The reasons for this lack: health crisis, decline in purchasing power … A special year for the French. In addition to having increased by 12%, some beneficiaries can no longer even afford even to buy. The Food Bank those who can to mobilize and donate online to fill this gap.
