The campaign, with the theme 'Your help may be what is still missing on a family's table', will take place in person today and on Sunday and will continue until June 6 on the Food Bank's 'online' channel.
The institution appeals for the "individual contribution of the Portuguese, encouraging the sharing of food that is part of the family table, according to the availability of each one, in an act of solidarity that assumes a collective character, with a view to improving the lives of families in need".
The president of the Portuguese Federation of Food Banks Against Hunger, Isabel Jonet, told Lusa that food collection campaigns are "absolutely essential for the supply of food banks" because, in these campaigns, basic products that are important for needy families are collected.
Asked about the requests for support from families, the president of the Food Bank considered that, despite the increase in some public social support, "the number of requests for support has not decreased" since the last campaign in December 2023.
Last year, the 21 Food Banks helped around 360,000 people with proven food shortages in partnership with more than 2,400 social organizations.
According to the organization, to participate in the campaign "simply accept a Food Bank bag and put food items in it" and hand it over to the volunteers at the supermarket exit.
The Food Bank Against Hunger, created in Portugal in 1991, has the mission of "fighting against waste and providing support to those who need food the most", in partnership with solidarity institutions and volunteer work.
