National collection of the Banques alimentaires 2026 and incident in Sète
The national collection of the Banques alimentaires took place from November 6 to 8, 2026, against a backdrop of worsening food insecurity and rising fuel prices weighing on logistics. Collections were organized in many territories, notably in Lot, Calais, Martinique, Gard, Moulins, Pont-à-Mousson, and Rouen, with targeted appeals for certain products and variable results across sectors. In Sète, the publication of a photo of a young veiled volunteer during the collection sparked hundreds of racist comments on social media, and the city's mayor expressed indignation. After the operation, the tallies were mixed across departments, while the Alpes-Maritimes Food Bank launched a call for volunteers in the face of growing needs.
