2026 national food bank collection and incident in Sète
On November 4, 2026, the food bank warns of completely empty stocks a few days before its national collection, scheduled for November 6 to 8. Several local branches, in Aube, Nord, Lot, Gard, Martinique and elsewhere, announce and prepare their collections during this period. The national collection takes place while the network is weakened by rising fuel prices weighing on its logistics. On November 8 and 9, local results are published, including 2.7 tonnes of foodstuffs in Saint-Venant and 1.5 tonne in Erquinghem-Lys. On November 9, the mayor of Sète denounces hundreds of racist comments on social media targeting a young veiled volunteer after the publication of a photo during the collection.
