" Sansalvadó was "surprised" by the numbers of food collection, which he claims shows that "people understand that civil society should participate in the welfare state." The objective was exceeded by the solidarity of donors and thanks to the unprecedented number of volunteers who have participated, about 7.500, and more than 180 towns in which between 25 and 26 November settled 600 points of collection, double those of last year, in markets and supermarkets. Transabadell, as a partner in the collection of food this year, feels fortunate to be able to contribute "their bit" and adds to the satisfaction generated by the huge and positive response from people, especially in difficult times like which we live in this moment. We hope the next collection of food with great illusion.
