2026 National Food Banks Collection and Incident in Sète
From November 5 to 8, 2026, Food Bank collections were organized in several territories, including Raimbeaucourt, Lot, Calais, the Weppes, Martinique, Pont-à-Mousson, Moulins and Gard, in a context of food insecurity and rising fuel prices weighing on logistics. On November 6, 7 and 8, the national collection took place, with calls for donations of food, hygiene and baby products. Local results were variable, with for example 2.7 tonnes in Saint-Venant, 1.5 tonne in Erquinghem-Lys and contrasting balances in Deux-Sèvres, Vienne and Charente. On November 9, in Sète, the publication of a photo of a young veiled volunteer during the collection sparked hundreds of racist comments on social media, with the city's mayor expressing his indignation. On November 10, the Alpes-Maritimes Food Bank launched a call for volunteers in the face of growing needs.
