Food distribution operation in les Vernets – 2,900 parcels distributed and 320 volunteers in action

Some 2,900 food parcels were distributed on Saturday at les Vernets ice rink – 300 more than the previous weekend. A total of 892 donors contributed to these parcels, which also included donations from the Partage Foundation. Countless contributions and a large donation from Chaîne du Bonheur enabled Caravane de Solidarité to purchase any goods that were missing. The coordination, under the auspices of the City of Geneva, improved once again to facilitate the flow of beneficiaries, some of whom arrived very early in the morning. The distribution operation began at 8 a.m. in order to reduce waiting times and get ahead of the bad weather that was moving in.

Record figures for the food distribution operation in les Vernets: 2,600 parcels and 1,511 donors.

Some 2,600 food parcels were distributed during the 3rd food distribution operation organised at les Vernets ice rink. Launched following an appeal from la Caravane de Solidarité and supported by both les Colis du Cœur and Partage, the operation is coordinated by the City of Geneva. This record number of parcels is accompanied by another, more gratifying, figure – that of the number of contributors.

COVID-19: Implementation of measures in favour of soft mobility

On 30 April, the State Council announced its decision to implement a series of temporary measures in favour of soft mobility with a view to accompanying the gradual resumption of both social and economic activities while helping limit the risk of traffic congestion caused by an increased use of cars. The introduction of these measures is also designed to avoid an excessive increase in air and noise pollution resulting from the renewed presence of road traffic.
