Overview
- More than 116,000 volunteers will staff donation points nationwide for the 41st annual autumn campaign, with teams identifiable by orange vests in partner supermarkets.
- Local mobilization is extensive, including about 800 volunteers across 60 stores in Vaucluse and roughly 1,300 in Haute-Savoie, with additional deployments reported in other departments.
- Donations focus on essential foodstuffs and hygiene products, collected at supermarket entrances and dedicated points across participating towns and cities.
- Ways to participate include in‑store giving, registering to help with collection and sorting via JeVeuxAider.gouv.fr, and providing financial support through monpaniersolidaire.org.
- Recent benchmarks underscore the stakes: Vaucluse aims to gather around 10% of its yearly distributions during the three days after delivering 1,460 tonnes to 55,000 people in 2024, while Haute‑Savoie’s 2024 effort accounted for 17% of annual supplies, nearly 300 tonnes or about 500,000 meals for 26,500 beneficiaries.
