AT A GLANCE

The collection takes place on 13 and 14 November at 17 Mijas supermarkets.
Donations will be made at the checkout and recorded on the shopper’s receipt.
Volunteers are wanted for morning or afternoon shifts of about three to four hours; call 621 30 72 92 to enquire.
Bancosol assists 483 people in Mijas, including 190 children.

WHY IT MATTERSThe campaign offers residents a way to support Bancosol’s work locally and gives prospective volunteers a contact number and an indication of shift length.

Mijas will host Bancosol’s Gran Recogida food-bank campaign on 13 and 14 November, with 17 local supermarkets taking part. The collection is organised by Bancosol, the Costa del Sol food bank, with support from the Mijas association Sembrando Sonrisas Cosechando Felicidad and the town council.

Shoppers will be able to donate at the checkout by choosing an amount to be added to their receipt. The campaign uses financial donations rather than the traditional collection of food items.
