Another Christmas Food Drive completed

It is already an annual tradition – the last Friday and Saturday of November is the date of the nationwide food drive organized by the Federation of Polish Food Banks. On November 24-25, 2023, volunteers of the Food Bank and Partner Organizations once again appeared in stores in the Tricity and Pomeranian Voivodeship, collecting food for people in difficult financial situations. Volunteers could have be found in 56 stores throughout the voivodeship. 15 Partner Organizations of the Food Bank in Tricity took part in the action. Ultimately, after carefully counting the food drive results, we can report that we collected 7,727.49 kg of food with an estimated value of PLN 81,018.29.

Flour was the most popular product donated; we received 1,806 kg of flour; in second place belongs to the products from the “rice, groats, pasta” category, of which we collected 1,646 kg. “Sugar and sweeteners” are products rounding out the podium ; we collected 1,023 kg of them. Just behind the podium are chocolates and sweets, with the results – 658 kg.
We would like to thank all the people who wanted to donate food to us, and we congratulate our Partner Organizations on the results. First of all, we would like to express our gratitude to our volunteers who, with a smile on their faces, enthusiasm and perseverance, stand in stores for hours handing out information leaflets and inviting people to share food. Without you, our dear volunteers, neither this nor any other collection would take place. Thank you.
At the same time, we invite you to support the Christmas Food Drive online on the website zbiorkazywnosci.pl .
