On November 13 and 14, 285 establishments in the province of Málaga and 4,000 volunteers will take part in the Gran Recogida de Alimentos 2026 of Bancosol (Banco de Alimentos de la Costa del Sol). The campaign aims to exceed the 450,000 euros raised to assist 20,589 vulnerable people through 129 Málaga associations, as detailed by the Junta de Andalucía. The territorial delegate for Social Services, Families and Equality, Laura Valle, and the president of Bancosol, Diego Vázquez, presented the initiative this Monday at the Delegación del Gobierno de la Junta de Andalucía in Málaga. Valle encouraged the public to take part in what she described as «the festival of Solidarity in Málaga». Among the volunteers of this edition are students from the Santa Rosa de Lima school. The delegate thanked them for their involvement and that of Málaga society, to which she attributed «great commitment, generosity and solidarity».

A network of 129 associations

The food and funds collected during the two days of the campaign will be distributed among the 129 Málaga entities that work with Bancosol, which assist 20,589 people in situations of vulnerability. The collection will take place in the 285 establishments in the province taking part in the initiative. Anyone who wishes to collaborate can do so as a donor at the time of purchase in the participating establishments or by joining as a volunteer in the organization of the campaign during November 13 and 14.
