Supermarket, Paris Area

Food and hygiene products collection in Paris, during 3 days (March 6-7-8)

What did we do ?

During the National Food collection, 10 of our Dataikers joined the Restos du coeur volunteering team in order to help them distributing flyers at the store entrance, inviting people to donate, collecting products and sorting them.

Some facts

10 Dataikers it’s 2 times the number of people who volunteered last year ! And for this year we decided to spread our forces around different Paris’ supermarket and not only one :

Monoprix Picpus
Monoprix Saint Paul
Monoprix Dames
Monoprix Courcelles
Carrefour Lyon
Carrefour Courcelles

» I participated in the National Food Collection day for the first time and it was a very interesting experience! I had a chance to learn more about the initiative and being able to help made me very happy. It was also very inspiring to see how many people donated and supported the action! »
