Overview
- The Fundación Provincial Banco de Alimentos named the Michelin‑starred chef as campaign padrino, bringing the collection forward by about two weeks from its usual late‑November timing.
- Organizers report several hundred volunteer posts still open, with midday shifts hardest to fill and about twenty shifts yet to be assigned across the province.
- Vigo alone needs more than 1,100 helpers as seven additional stores join the collection points in the city and nearby towns including Sanxenxo, O Grove and Vilagarcía.
- Donations will be accepted as physical food or checkout contributions under the slogan “Lo damos todo,” with coverage across Vigo, Pontevedra and comarcas such as O Salnés, O Morrazo, Val Miñor, Baixo Miño, Condado, Louriña, Caldas, Deza and Ulla.
- Volunteers can register at granrecogidavigo.org or by calling 986 26 30 22, and Solla will promote the effort via his social channels while attending a congress in Turkey.
