BANCO ALIMENTAR Contra a Fome in the Algarve (BAA), the regional branch of the Portuguese Food Bank Network, is holding a food collecting operation in the region this weekend.
A total of 1,400 volunteers placed in 70 commercial food stores and supermarkets are involved in a campaign that aims to collect enough food to help more than 7,000 people through several charitable associations.
The organisers ask for donators of non-perishable food, like pasteurised milk, canned food, cookies, sugar, flour, pasta, rice and oil.
