In order to support Latvian families in need, on October 12, Partikas banka “Paēdušai Latvijai” and “Rimi” invited to a traditional action of filling food parcels. As part of it, 65 food packages were filled in Talso. On the other hand, 5,953 food parcels were filled throughout Latvia, providing assistance to at least 17,000 people.
Similar to the previous campaign, which took place in March of this year, the residents of Talsi were also active this time and filled 65 packages with products that have a long shelf life. Traditionally, residents of Riga have shown the greatest activity, filling 2,483 food packages. Also, the campaign was actively supported by vidzemniks and kurzemniks, filling 1513 and 1013 food packages, respectively.
“Food parcels are essential support for those residents of Talsi and the surrounding area who are in financial difficulties or are in a difficult phase of their lives. Thank you to everyone who did not remain indifferent and participated in the food package donation campaign!” emphasizes Agita Kraukle, head of Food Bank “Paēdušai Latvijai”.
This year, Rimi, the largest cooperation partner and food donor of Partikas banka, has already donated 488 tons of products, which non-governmental organizations throughout Latvia have delivered to those who need it most. Food donation takes place in more than 30 cities and towns.
Currently, 40 Pārtikas bankas support points are operating throughout Latvia, which help approximately 6,500 people every month – among them are families with children and senior citizens, as well as persons with disabilities and their relatives.
From September 25 to November 20 in donation boxes in “Rimi” stores throughout Latvia or with your My Rimi it is possible to save money to support the operation of Food Bank “Paēdušai Latvijai” so that everyone can provide a meal for himself and his family.
