Campania collected 407 tonnes of food in a single day during the 30th Giornata Nazionale della Colletta Alimentare, passing 400 tonnes in the region for the first time, according to Il Mattino.
The newspaper attributed the record result to contributions from shoppers and to more than 6,500 volunteers present in Campania. The national 2026 edition took place on Saturday 14 November, with donations collected in participating supermarkets and online, according to the Banco Alimentare Foundation.
In Campania, the Banco Alimentare network works through 401 local partner organisations and says it indirectly assists 218,144 people in need. Nationally, the initiative involved about 12,000 supermarkets and more than 160,000 volunteers, according to the organisation.
