Over 2,250 stores and 5,000 volunteers around Czechia will participate in the autumn National Food Ccollection day on Saturday. The collection is a bi-annual event in which people can donate non-perishable food and basic hygiene products for the needy. The goods are distributed by food banks to seniors, single mothers, disadvantaged families and children in care homes. People can also make donations online. The collection was first launched in 2013 and the number of shops supporting it has tripled over the years. More information is available on the website www.sbirkapotravin.cz. There is a map on the collection website where people can find participating stores in their area.
