The Rotary Club San Marino also took part yesterday, Saturday 14 November, in the Colletta Alimentare (Food Bank Collection), joining the many local organisations engaged in gathering food products for those in need.
More than 300 volunteers, including over 90 young people, some accompanied by their teachers, mobilised in supermarkets across the Republic. The effort brought together secular and Catholic associations alike, along with ordinary citizens, in the thirtieth anniversary year of the initiative.
Promoted by the Fondazione Banco Alimentare and by the Amici del Banco Alimentare San Marino, the collection supports the Caritas Vicariale through the Casa San Michele centre, which assists 80 families, around 200 people. Citizens were able to donate pasta, oil, pulses, preserves and other essential foodstuffs.
At the Coal supermarket in Fiorentino, the Captains Regent and Bishop Domenico Beneventi also paid a visit. The Heads of State met with volunteers and made a personal donation towards the purchase of food supplies.
