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 distribution operation began at 8 a.m. in order to reduce waiting times and get ahead of the bad weather that was moving in.
