“All proceeds (excluding expenses) will be invested in the work of the Loano Solidarity Bank," explain the organizers. "Our simple mission is to gather food e, Always in two or three, bring it to the homes of people in serious financial difficulty who struggle to meet their families' food needs. Unlike other worthy charitable organizations, the our “working” method” brings us into direct contact with families at their doorsteps, thereby creating opportunities for meetings between those who bring the “package” (i.e., the bag with the food) and who receives it, from this gesture arise friendship relations and other needs arise besides food; in fact, material poverty is often only a symptom of a broader poverty. The latter is the most important point for us.”
