Overview

• Registration opened Oct. 2 at granrecapte.org, and organizers say they need about 14,000 volunteers (Barcelona 8,000; Tarragona 2,500; Girona 2,500; Lleida 1,300) because volunteer presence doubles in‑store donations.
• The drive will run Nov. 7–8 at supermarkets and local shops across Catalonia, with online donations open now via granrecapte.org and Bizum 33596 through Nov. 23.
• Organizers aim to exceed roughly 1,500 tonnes collected last year and prioritize staples such as oil, milk and canned goods along with fresh products like meat, fish and eggs.
• The effort supplies around 230,000 people via more than 570 social entities, supported by 30 grocery chains and hundreds of partner organizations that provide logistics and distribution.
• This edition adds personalized campaign posters and a WhatsApp channel to widen outreach and streamline updates for donors and volunteers.
