Aldi renews its support for Banco Alimentare on National Food Collection Day

Aldi is renewing its participation for the eighth consecutive year in the National Food Collection Day, taking place on Saturday 14 November 2026, and inviting its customers to take part in the initiative promoted by Banco Alimentare.

The Food Collection

The event represents an important opportunity to raise consumers’ awareness of the value of solidarity towards those less fortunate and to highlight the ongoing commitment of Aldi and Banco Alimentare to supporting communities. During the Food Collection, customers will be able to contribute to the collection of essential goods by purchasing and donating long-life food, such as oil, pulses, pasta, rice and breakfast and snack products. Everyday foods that are simple to store.

Products from different categories but all sharing the fact that they can be easily stored for long periods and are therefore ideal for food collections. On 14 November, customers need only add these products to their shopping and donate them to the Banco Alimentare volunteers present in Aldi stores, who are easy to recognise, to take part in the Food Collection.

Aldi’s commitment

The collaboration with Banco Alimentare represents an important element for Aldi Italia, which has been its partner for several years. Embracing the organisation’s values, based on giving and the generosity of action, sharing needs, solidarity, trust and the fight against food waste, Aldi contributes to the responsible recovery of surplus food, which thus becomes a nutritional opportunity for the most vulnerable.

The comment

“For eight years, we have been firmly renewing our participation in National Food Collection Day, an initiative that makes it possible to turn an everyday act such as doing the shopping into practical help for those who need it most. On the occasion of the 30 edition, we are pleased once again to make our network available to Banco Alimentare and to involve our customers in an event that draws attention to the value of solidarity and sharing,” said Corradomaria Vella, head of commercial at Aldi Italia.
