This year, 67,600 volunteers and more than 700 business partners took part in the national collection on behalf of the Restos du Coeur. The volunteers many of them students, collected dried and tinned foodstuffs at more than 6,000 supermarkets across France over the weekend of the 6th/7th February 2015. These products will be critical to the ability of Restos du Coeur to help vulnerable people in 2015 and into 2016.
The foodstuffs collected included canned vegetables / meat / fish, and ready meals, along with baby and hygiene products.
Last year, the national collection allowed Restos du Coeur to serve more than 6 million meals to the neediest people. The number of guests visiting their distribution centres on a regular basis has stabilised at around one million persons.
