Metrovías

Since 2002, together with Metrovias, we have been doing two annual collections in the Subte: one for Children's Day and the other for Christmas.

With the campaign entitled “2 journeys for one food item", Metrovias invites Subte and Urquiza Railway passengers to exchange a non-perishable food item for two journeys on the Subte.

For each collection there are reception centres, manned by campaign staff, located in the busiest stations. At the end of each day, the boxes are picked up from each collection point and delivered to the Banco de Alimentos.

To date, we have collected more than 300,000 kilos of food which has been distributed amongst the soup kitchens and homes linked to the Foundation.

Standard Bank

Standard Bank carried out an internal fundraising activity which benefitted all of the food banks in the country. The funds were distributed proportionally amongst all of the food banks in the country.

Natacha

For the second consecutive year, the shoe shop allowed us to develop a campaign that linked fashion with solidarity. NATACHA produced its second "Solidarity Shoe", in aid of the Banco de Alimentos.

NATACHA ART WINDOW: as a consequence of our previous work together, through philanthropic marketing activity, this year the shoe shop decided to step up its commitment to the Banco de Alimentos by inviting it to take the lead in its ART WINDOW at its branch in Av. Alvear. Thanks to this, the FBA finds artists that loan their work for exhibition in the shop window, which is thus converted into a solidarity space.

5àSec

Together with the 5àSec chain of dry cleaners, a clothes collection was carried out and they themselves took charge of distributing the clothes to the organisations and soup kitchens that form part of our network and are located close to their branches.

PONY

Together with the brand PONY, the Fundación Banco de Alimentos developed a training shoe in aid of the FBA's cause. This campaign, entitled "You're different, make a difference" allows Pony's customers to help those that suffer from hunger.

DIA

Throughout October, in all branches of the supermarket DIA, a fundraising campaign for the Fundación Banco de Alimentos took place. By purchasing any product from the DIA range, consumers could help the Fundación Banco de Alimentos to achieve its mission.

CITI

More than 10 months ago, we began a telemarketing-out campaign together with Citibank, through which its clients can make a donation to the Foundation, whilst at the same time accessing various benefits granted by Citibank. Thanks to this campaign, the FBA has managed to sign up more than 1000 new donors that support the fight against hunger.

Corporate Volunteering

The companies Molinos, Nobleza Piccardo, Accenture, Kraft, Prudential y Deustche Bank participate in the corporate volunteering programme.

The volunteers work in our warehouse, receiving, identifying, and then classifying the products donated by commercial enterprises or producers. The volunteers work in groups and each group works a shift of three or four hours.
