"On behalf of all the organisations, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the people of goodwill who did not turn their backs on the less fortunate people of our country and lent a helping hand by donating food. Equally important were the more than six thousand volunteers who patiently and persistently invited shoppers to contribute and counted and sorted the food on both days. Without the help of volunteers, this campaign would not have happened, and I would like to thank everyone who gave even a fraction of their time," says Simonas Gurevičius, the head of the Maisto bankas Charity and Support Foundation, which organised the campaign for the thirty-fourth time.
