Charitable organizations in France are initiating autumn drives to support vulnerable populations. In the Bouches-du-Rhône department, Banque Alimentaire 13 has requested 1,000 volunteers for a large-scale collection scheduled for November 6–8, which aims to supply 177 partner associations assisting over 110,000 people.

Simultaneously, in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, the Restos du Coeur is conducting a solidarity collection from October 9 to 10. This drive seeks non-perishable food and baby products to support 380 families, following previous collections that were insufficient to meet local needs.
