Les Restos du Cœur are starting their annual collection of food donations from the general public this Friday. From Friday to Sunday, 80,000 volunteers will be present in 7,500 supermarkets throughout France to collect food donations and hygiene products.
Last year, the association, which provides 35% of food aid in France, welcomed 1.3 million people. It estimates that between 165 and 168 million meals will be distributed this year, compared to 171 million in 2023 and 142 million in 2022.
