Past event

On Saturday 27 November, the National Food Collection Day will return with its nineteenth edition. Over 135,000 volunteers from Fondazione Banco Alimentare Onlus, present in 11,000 supermarkets will encourage the donation of long-life foods to be distributed to nearly 2 million people in need through more than 8,989 charitable facilities (soup kitchens, communities for minors, solidarity stalls, homeless shelters, etc.).

The Unipol Group gave its support to the initiative again this year not only as a sponsor of the National Day but also with a concrete gesture by its employees, organising an internal food collection day which gathered the incredible amount of 3,279 kg of essential goods intended for those living in need.
