The campaign, considered the most important solidarity mobilization of the year for food banks, aims to surpass the more than 200,000 kilograms of products collected in the previous edition in the province of A Coruña. To achieve this, it will count on the participation of over 500 supermarkets and seeks to mobilize around 2,000 volunteers.
Belén do Campo encouraged the people of A Coruña to get involved in this initiative, either by volunteering or by making monetary donations or contributing food. "Every gesture counts, and together, we can help thousands of people and families facing difficulties to have guaranteed access to dignified food," she stated.
The delegate highlighted that 26,000 people in the province of A Coruña need the support of the Food Bank. She noted that while the number of people in more severe situations of social exclusion has decreased, the number of those struggling to make ends meet has increased. The most needed items are milk, packaged foods, and products requiring little preparation.
The patron for this edition is the renowned surgeon from A Coruña, Diego González Rivas. Those interested in participating as volunteers can register via email at voluntarios@balrial.org or by phone at 604 001 206.
The delegate praised the "tireless and determined work" of the Food Bank of A Coruña and its collaboration network with over 144 social entities, which in 2025 expanded its coverage to all municipalities in the province.
The Xunta de Galicia collaborates with the Food Bank through the Ministry of Social Policy and the Galician Fund of Agricultural Guarantee (FOGGA).
