Overview

  • The Federación Española de Bancos de Alimentos (FESBAL) began its nationwide Recogida Primavera 2025 campaign on May 23, scheduled to run through June 1.
  • Customers can donate in multiples of one euro at checkout in participating supermarkets, with funds fully converted into products needed by local food banks or Tarjetas Sociedad for beneficiary autonomy.
  • Mercadona is participating with 31 stores in Euskadi, 63 in Castilla y León, and 265 in the Comunidad Valenciana, supporting precise and efficient aid distribution.
  • In Palencia, 37 supermarkets across eight chains are taking part in a localized effort from May 23 to 24 or 25, serving over 2,000 beneficiaries, including many young families with children.
  • Last year's spring campaign raised over €1 million, equivalent to 700 tons of essential goods, highlighting the potential impact of this year's initiative.
